Amazing film. Visually and audibly stunning. Great storyline and acting.

One of the greatest movies

Best sequels ever

A sequel that's better than the original which was itself great. Best movie of the year and it's not even close.

THIS!!! Just plain EPIC! Watched it multiple times and get caught up in it EVERY TIME.

Happy to finally have a Dune movie with a complete arc and plot. Great movie! Ran a bit long at the end (i felt the same thing when I was reading the book). I liked most of the changes. Went to see it in 4DX and I almost fell out of my seat when Paul rode the worm. Need someone to believe in me like Stilgar believes in Paul

Great film, good story and amazing visuals. No doubt one of the best science fiction movies of all time and the best for sure of the last years. Another good thing was to make me to see the part one in the same day. Stilgar: "The Madhi is too humble to say He is the Madhi. Even more reason to know He is! As written!"

Look at the main character

GREAT movie!! Never saw the original 80s version but the remakes are AMAZING.

Tim did excellent, I’ve rewatched this countless times. He was robbed of an Oscar.

VFX for the theatres.

Utterly Amazing, one of the most beautiful films you’ll see visually and acting from all ends is phenomenal. Denis Villeneuve gives his best addition to an upcoming franchise which will most likely end up being a saga of movies and TV Shows. This & Endgame will be seen as the Empire Strikes Back of this generation, hot take I prefer both previously mentioned movies over ESB.

Dune: Part Two is incredible. From the moment the film begins, it’s clear that Denis Villeneuve has delivered another visually stunning, emotionally resonant chapter in the saga. Timothée Chalamet gives one of his strongest performances to date, solidifying his portrayal of Paul Atreides as both vulnerable and commanding. His transformation is captivating, making his journey feel both epic and personal. The visuals are jaw-dropping, with breathtaking landscapes and impeccably designed action sequences that feel both intimate and grand. The supporting cast shines as well, with standout performances that bring depth and energy to the story. While Christopher Walken’s casting as Emperor Shaddam IV was a miss for me, the film more than compensates with incredible new characters and brilliant additions to the cast. The pacing is deliberate, I feel that while some moments could have been fleshed out further, and left me wanting more it didn't detract from the overall experience. Every scene is meticulously crafted, and the narrative’s payoff is immensely satisfying. The film not only honors Frank Herbert’s vision but elevates it, delivering unforgettable moments like Paul’s stirring speech and his confrontation with the Emperor. Dune: Part Two is a defining moment in blockbuster filmmaking. Whether you’re a fan of the first installment or just discovering the saga, this film is an unmissable experience. A true modern epic.

Much more serious then the 1st

14th time viewing Dune 2 and it still holds up as the best theater experience in years.

With its spectacular visuals, a more intense storyline, and strong performances from the cast, Dune: Part Two deserves to be called one of the best sci-fi films of the year.

As much as people want to hate on David Lynch’s Dune, at least that was memorable. I had to be reminded that I even watched this one, it was that forgettable. On the plus side, I can’t remember anything egregious about it (except for the fact that Paul wasn’t played by Kyle Maclachlan and Feyd wasn’t played by Sting).

Hmmmm I just wish it matched the book.. that's all.

Dune: Part Two manages to be more epic than its predecessor, bringing a level of grandeur and detail to Arrakis that makes the viewer want to know more and more about this new world. With breathtaking and not-so-obvious action scenes, it leaves the viewer apprehensive and with the feeling that no one is safe on this inhospitable planet combined with a sound quality that makes everything much more impactful. Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya are more than comfortable as protagonists and their performances are consolidated to carry the story to the end. Dune: Part Two is grand, beautiful, tense and epic, a great choice for fiction fans.

The feeling of an epic story comes through, though upon reflection it all feels beautiful but empty..

Stunning visuals and disquieting score, but don’t attempt a watch without first brushing up on “Part 1”

very interesting movie

Muito bom! Fotografia, trilha sonora, adaptação, atuação. Prepare a pipoca!

One of the best most immersive science fiction films in decades. One of the best films of this year!

"Visually thrilling" certainly is apt. So many scenes where you think "oh that's creative."

This is nit the type of movie I'm drawn to and although an unpopular opinion I'm not a fan of Zendaya. I was drawn to this as I would watch Austen Butler in anything. Even as an ugly maniac killer he is magnetic to watch

Film "Dune: Part Two" adalah sebuah karya epik yang memukau, yang melanjutkan kisah Paul Atreides dalam perjuangannya melawan kekuatan jahat di planet Arrakis. Dengan visual efek yang spektakuler, akting yang kuat dari tim aktor, dan arahan Denis Villeneuve yang brilian, film ini berhasil meningkatkan intensitas dan emosi dari bagian pertama. Cerita yang kompleks dan karakter yang berkembang membuat penonton terpaku pada layar, menantikan kelanjutan petualangan Paul dan sekutunya dalam memperebutkan kendali atas "dune" yang berharga.

Film ini sangat seru dan menarik, sangat cocok ditonton bersama keluarga, petualangan nya sangat menyenangkan dan penuh aksi

Kerennnn Banget Filmyaaaaa!

As a sequel, it works for the same reasons that make The Empire Strikes Back so many people’s favourite Star Wars film: there’s a darkness, a bleakness, that makes the fist-pumping moments feel all-the-more earned. There’s a sense, too, that the good guys may not win out. If they’re even good. Content collapsed.

Film yang mengesankan sangat menyugai tiap adegan nya

filmnya keren bangettt

Film nya seru banget

Having wisely split the novel in half, Dune: Part Two picks up right where the previous film left off, continuing the story of Muad’Dib as he rises to power among the Fremen. He continues to fulfill prophecies causing his unwanted following to grow as his adopted people seek to expel the occupiers from their home world while the galactic battle over who controls the spice continues. The film is practically flawless and maintains the feel of the first. I sat down and watched both films back-to-back, over five hours, and was completely enthralled. A master storyteller makes you forget you are watching a film, and the world Director Denis Villeneuve and team have created is so real that the viewer is just drawn in and captivated. Javier Bardem and Timothée Chalamet’s performances are brilliant as the starry-eyed disciple and reluctant savior. The emotion is palpable in a climactic moment where Muad’Dib publicly and dramatically accepts his role to the dismay of his lover, played by Zendaya. And I would be remiss not to mention Austin Butler’s performance as the psychotic Feyd-Rautha, most memorably (and regretfully) played by Sting in the 1984 original. I could go on and on, and if you don’t like sci-fi, you’ll probably be bored to death by all this nerd stuff. However, the film is so epic in scale it transcends the genre to create a truly engrossing film. I about lost it when they announced they are now developing the second book into a film, Dune: Messiah due in December of 2026.

So many moving parts. I feel this should have felt more like the sweeping epic it was, but I just thought it was fine. Just so much going on, that nothing really gets sussed out… which is weird for a 2:45 movie.

Like the first installation of the Dune Trilogy (or more), Dune: Part Two had a lot going on with many characters, groups, planets, locations to keep track of. They do a great job of keeping the viewer engaged in what's going on and where you are and who is who. It definitely helps to have watched the first movie. Dune: Part Two does not do a lot of recapping to let you know how you got to the opening scene. Which is fine. The movie is nearly three hours long as it is. We didn't need a long recap. However, in spite of being so long, we find out that Part Two is not the end. Part Two was a very consistent continuation of Part One. The characters are vibrant, complex, creative. The storyline is easy enough to follow, even with so many involved. The special effects are fantastic and used very effectively. Though it was nearly three hours long, it moves along well and doesn't feel like it drags at all. I gave Part One a 4 Star rating and predicted 4 Stars for it's sequel, Dune: Part Two. I really enjoyed it and I'm going to stick with my 4 Star Rating. I don't know that it will win Best Picture, but it should win plenty of other categories as the first episode did.

The most noble path is fiercely guarded. Houses rise and fall. They always have. The greatest achievement is selflessness. The greatest worth is mastery of yourself. The greatest quality is serving others. The greatest shield is a clear mind. The greatest weapon is a pure spirit. The greatest freedom is fearlessness. The greatest enlightenment is seeing the universe as it truly is and accepting this. There is a right reason to fight, and there is a right way to fight, and there is a right time to fight. Fight for liberty Fight for love. Fight to restore order. If you desire peace, prepare to fight.

I don't think I enjoyed it as much as the 1st movie but a still solid addition to the franchise.

O filme tem partes boas e partes ruins! O início estava ruim, no final melhora.

The greatest sci-fi, and maybe just movies I have ever watched. Ever since Dune: Part 1 was released in 2021 I continued to watch the first movie 7 times and the second movie 6 times. Every frame of these movies is art, and the score by Hans Zimmer perfectly reflects and depicts the characters feelings and tensions, as well as the underlying implication and messages. A story that doesnt have a hero or a villain, a story that masterfully warns the destruction danger of religious figures and saviors. This is all topped off the an absolute all star cast who embody their roles in the best way possible. Not to mention Denis Villenueve, a DaVinci of our time. His vision and execution of Dune is unlike any other, and he manages to make this dystopian universe seem so grounded, immersive, and real. I highly suggest anyone that loves sci-fi to watch these movies, and hope they stand the test of time. Because as of now, for me, it seems impossible to fathom anything that can surpass this.

Rare case where a sequel lives up to, if not surpasses, the original. Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya shine as Paul Atreides seeks revenge on those who destroyed his family. Visually stunning and well directed, Dune Part Two leaves you wanting more.

By itself not a bad movie. But why call it Dune if you're not going to follow the book. I don't understand why they make books into movies only to change and rewrite sections. Was very disappointed. Glad i didn't pay for a theater 🎟

A cinematic masterpiece! For those complaining that the first Dune movie took too slow to build up w/little action being a result, they won’t be disappointed w/the sequel! I can’t wait for the 3rd installment!

I had to start the movie 3 times before I finally got through it. A cast of stars cannot make up for the movie’s disjointed plot and hard to follow story line. Lots of fighting, but it’s often unclear who is fighting who and why. I saw the first installation of Dune a few years ago in the theatre and it’s hard to remember what happened then. The director expects you to completely remember, making the movie unable to stand alone. Stories should have a beginning, middle, and end. This is all middle, with you wishing it would end. The pacing is off and jumps over what might be important story details to help the viewer understand what’s happening. It finally starts making a little sense 2 1/2 hours in and then it’s clear that they set you up for a Part 3, which I will not be watching—Thank You very much.

made the movie a bit too long...should have cut it short. nice movie but still boring because of the length of the movie.

It was nice and frassy!

Great directing, acting and mesmerizing movie to watch. I can’t wait for the final installment, Dune Messiah.

I didn't think a sequel could be this good. Had me at the edge of my seat the whole time. Genuinely can't wait for the third installment.

My all time favorite

The best movie of 2024 and it is not really that close.

This movie I have seen 5 times. I absolutely loved it. Even better than the first one. The first one exceptional and for this one to be even better is inspiring . I can’t wait for the third installment

One of my all-time favorite movies! This film excels in every way, whether it's the writing, acting, production value, music, atmosphere, action, it would be extremely difficult to find a fault. This film is an event, and it deserves to be witnessed!

They didn’t top the first one. But damn this one was good!! Definitely a bit of a faster pace. Also when i read more of the book I’m disappointed they keep changing so dam much. Still a great movie. Can’t wait for numero tres!

One of the best movies I have ever seen in my life. Dune Part 2 is excellent in every aspect you can imagine: CGI, production design, photography, direction, costumes, makeup, acting... The story is moving, and really exciting. Battles are thrilling, and when they end, they let you breathless. Feyd Rautha is a great menace and the main antagonist, and gives a great performance. I cant wait to see Dune Messiah.

**Dune: Part Two – A Sandstorm of Spectacle** I wasn’t a fan of the first *Dune*—too slow, too much setup. But *Part Two*? Now *this* is what I signed up for. It wastes no time diving into the action, exploring the Fremen world, and delivering some truly jaw-dropping sequences. The visuals? Oscar-worthy. Every frame feels like a painting, every desert shot like an epic prophecy coming to life. Sure, the dialogue and pacing stretch a little thin at times, but I get it—this is all part of the bigger picture. The real triumph here is the action. Denis Villeneuve trades slow-burn for spectacle, and it *works.* Every battle is intense, every moment visually mesmerizing. I walked in skeptical, but now I’m fully on board. They actually got me hyped for *Dune: Part Three*. If *Part One* felt like an introduction, *Part Two* is where the saga truly begins. Big improvement.

As an movie itself, an action movie it works. It reference to the book it is an adaption thereof, I found it deleted the mysticism, time passing, and scope of the book in favor of sensationalism and action.

Simply awesome. Cinematography, Music, special effects … amazing work.

I think Dune Part 2 does exactly what the first movie does, but better. The visuals in this movie are stunning, literally a cinema photographers dream. The action was great, and I think Timothee Chalamet crushes it as Paul. Highly recommend this Movie.

Perfect in every which way you slice it. Denis is a genius and it’s amazing we are all witnessing his masterpieces firsthand.

The best movie I have seen in years! The script, the acting, the cinematography, and to put it bluntly. It’s just epic! I have watched it a dozen times over already.

Honestly, I cannot read, listen, or accept any bad reviews for this movie. Denis Villeneuve's directing combined with a brilliant performance from Timothee Chalamet, and this amazing cast takes cinema to another level. As if that is not enough, FREAKING HANS ZIMMER's soundtrack sets perfectly with the storytelling and makes us feel truly in another reality. I went to the movie theater three times only to watch this MASTERPIECE in IMAX. It is one of the best movies I have ever seen and made me appreciate Frank Herbert's work.

It works, the visauls are amazing, and the performances are great. I didn't connect with it as much as I had hoped. Naturally there isn't a whole lot of resolution in this film as its setting up for the next one.

Expertly done in regards to production design, technical capabilities, etc. Where it becomes average is not the fault of the filmmakers but rather the source material which has created flat characters. They are boring, with not much humanity and motivation guided more by destiny than their own agency which makes viewing this near 3 hour entry a slog.

Best 2nd part ever !!!

Five stars except he totally changed Chani’s character. Throwing a temper tantrum and riding off on a worm is a 180 degree turn from the beautiful character that Frank Herbert wrote.

Von Anfang bis Ende fesselnd. Die Reise von Paul und seiner Mutter ist grandios umgesetzt. Großartige Musik, perfekte Besetzung.

The best movie of the last decade. I didn’t think they could improve on dune but they did, a perfect movie

This is somehow better than part one, which I didn’t know was possible. Amazing. PURE CINEMA

I give dune 4.5. The setting was great the storyline great. Actors phenomenal. The powerful speeches from the main character where chill invoking. But when comparing to the original dune I wanted to see more of the house of Atriades tech. Also zendaya completely castrates the role. She’s stuck in the mad teen role. Other than that perfect I can’t wait to see what’s next.

A bonafide classic, giving me Empire Strikes Back vibes. It's so good for so many reasons, and better than the original.

Denis Villeneuve is a master at his craft.

Peliculón. Ya sin el peso de tener que introducirnos sus personajes, sus mundos y encaminarnos en su historia a los neófitos como sucedió en la primera parte (y se resiente en esa primer hora difícil de seguir) arranca muy bien y te dejas llevar. Épica en muchos niveles y con algunos momentos mucho mas oscuros que se primera entrega, ahora si logro engancharme definitivamente y la disfrute. Buena historia, escenas que se ven hermosas a su manera y una banda sonora espectacular, esta todo bien justo y a su medida. Si tengo que quejarme de algo es su excesiva duración aunque no se me ocurre como podría haber sido mas corta (tal vez menos slow motion pero eso como que le corta algo en la elegancia que presenta). Ahora si quedo a la espera de mas, y con muchas mas ganas.

One of the best movies I have ever seen. Denis continues adapting a very dense novel into beautiful artistic mastery that should be seen by everyone as many times as possible.

Iconic sequel, action packed and beautifully told story.

It's a must-see film that should be on your bucket list !

Excelente, el desarrollo y la escenografía, pudo faltar un mejor desarrollo de personaje respecto a la hermana no nacida de paul como en los libros

It's an absolute messy academy gor its full ignorance to a movie like this from the oscars and its nominations!!

Me faltan estrellas para calificar esta película es simplemente perfecta

I think this movie looks amazing but I just can not take the lead seriously, especially when he tried to be tough and was shouting at everybody. Beautiful visuals, horrible casting. Also a lot of exposition was very exposition-y. I wish the film let the audiences figure things out for themselves.

Movie was so entertaining and it was an amazing experience to watch with a theater audience everyone.

Pretty much what I expected. Nothing much actually happens, and the big set piece sci-fi effects do become the only reason for persevering. It's far too long and self indulgent and I enjoyed the first film much more than this. I was expecting a lot more based on the hype. The quality of critic review(er)s has slipped badly since pre-covid.

Despite the grandeur of its visuals and the ambition of its storytelling, Dune: Part Two ultimately struggles to deliver a truly compelling cinematic experience. While Denis Villeneuve once again showcases his mastery of world-building, crafting breathtaking landscapes and awe-inspiring set pieces, the film falters where it matters most—its emotional core. One of the biggest flaws lies in its pacing. At times, the movie drags, stretching moments that should be intense into drawn-out sequences that test the audience’s patience. The spectacle is there, but the narrative often feels cold and distant, failing to fully engage the viewer in the personal stakes of Paul Atreides’ journey. The characters, though well-acted, are often overshadowed by the film’s visual excess. Timothée Chalamet’s Paul remains an enigmatic figure, but his emotional transformation feels more told than truly felt. Zendaya’s Chani, heavily marketed as a central character, is given limited depth, making her arc feel underwhelming. Meanwhile, pivotal figures like the Emperor and Feyd-Rautha, while intriguing, don’t receive enough development to feel like true forces in the story. Moreover, the film’s heavy reliance on exposition sometimes weakens its impact. While Villeneuve strives for a balance between spectacle and substance, Dune: Part Two often leans too much on its visual grandeur, leaving some of its thematic weight underexplored. For all its technical brilliance, Dune: Part Two lacks the emotional resonance needed to make it a truly unforgettable epic. It is a film to be admired, but not necessarily one to be deeply felt.

BEAUTY, that's all I need to say...

Filmão, filmaço, filmaralhaço

Still processing the magnitude of this grand and astonishing epic - it evens make Part One more interesting (although it surpasses it by a lot). The craft that was put into this is just out of this world. My palms sweat at a couple of scenes - a movie that gave me the chills (a long time since this didn't happened). Yes, all the cast is amazing. Timothée giving us a much complex, darker performance (after we just saw him like Wonka). All the girls, specially Zendaya, deliver a touching and powerful performance too. Austin Butler's character blew my mind - so evil, so psychotic, pure nightmare fuel. And let's not forget about Javier Bardem - so good, so scary, so relevant (and funny to see him as a counterparte of his role in mother!). The sound design of this film might one of the biggest reasons this movie is as epic as it is. In full awe for the sound and score. This might be the greatest sci-fi film of our time; try to watch it on an IMAX screen - it was made for this.

Sin duda cine en todo el sentido de la palabra, en toda su expresión. Absolutamente monumental, cuanda acaba sientes que te ha pasado por encima, que te ha apabullado, fotografìa fascinante, la banda sonora de Zimmer monstruosa, increíbles actuaciones con un reparto impecable que te transmite toda la emoción, tensión y locura de la historia. Pero aún más alucinante el retrato de nuestra historia como humanidad y como el poder lo es todo, no importa los medios, hasta el punto de usar la religión como herramienta y arma. Una vez más Villeneuve, nos demuestra que es uno de los mejores directores y porque es un gran creador de cine de autor. Sin duda una de las mejores películas de lo que va del siglo, con los años seguramente una película de culto, un clásico instantáneo.

Filme bacana, o roteiro é bacaninha, as cenas de ação foram bacanas, o elenco é bom, a história é meio desinteressante, esse cenas no deserto eu achei que o filme ficou um pouco fraco com isso, mas o visual do filme é legal, o filme também teve cenas boas como a cena Do helicóptero matando todo mundo, gostei da cena da explosão no deserto perto do final do filme, com tudo isso, eu meio que recomendo esse filme.

Muito bom bonito e como continuação e ótimo

Dune: Part 2 reminds us why we go to the cinema. An IMAX must-see. The acting is great, the fighting choreography is extremely well done, and the VFX and cinematography are stunning, with Zimmer’s brilliant score taking this film to another galaxy. Villeneuve deserves every award that comes his way for this film. This is the best film of the decade.

For those who enjoy big budget science fiction blockbusters, Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two will be right up their alley. Filled with outstanding special effects, a handful of epic scenes, and a satisfactory resolution to the first instalment from a few years ago, there won’t be much to complain about. For those who don’t generally enjoy big budget science fiction blockbusters, the whole thing might be a bit puzzling, especially considering the bloated run time, which begs a simple question: would it not have been more effective to simply combine the two movies by hunkering down in the editing room and hacking out some of the more irrelevant material, thus making the finished product more palatable for general audiences? Probably, but it’s not always about making a better movie if box office receipts are at risk.

A visually stunning sci-fi war epic that continues and even exceeds the incredible momentum built up from the first movie. The set designs, cinematography, and visual effects give the movie such a large scale scope of this planetary revolution. The acting all around is terrific, with standout performances from nearly every major cast member. The story is very tightly written with great themes of how unifying oppressed people for a good cause can be tainted by the methods one tries to achieve these, particularly exploitation of religious fundamentalism and political manipulation to seat yourself with more power as you lose sight of who you’re fighting for. The ending is riveting with an easy open door for another sequel, but with just enough of a thrilling conclusion to leave you satisfied. It's a fantastic sequel and easily my favorite movie of the year so far.

I really liked Dune Part 1, which was a welcome surprise but unfortunately did not really like Part 2. The movie is slow, predictable and gets overly complicated. I have watched Part 1, probably four times. Part 2 is a one and done, very disappointed.

I found the first Dune movie terrible, and while the second one was slightly better, I still can’t get into the theme. It’s definitely not a movie for everyone. The visuals and production are impressive, but the pacing and the story didn’t resonate with me. It’s a film that some will love, but it’s just not for me.

Just brilliant. Sweeping, breathtaking. Every visual, every performance, every aspect of the soundtrack.

Adapting a sequel from an odd book is difficult; making it good is twice as hard. And yet, Dune Part 2 succeeds in every way, helmed by one of the best in business and bolstered by a top-notch cast. It’s rewatchable as both a standalone and as a sequel, and its message about demagoguery resonates throughout the film. It remained my top film throughout 2024 and for good reason. It’s one of the best of this century and it comes highly recommended.

I know it sounds silly, but I love it just becaause Timothee is in it! So, go ahead and cruficy me.

Take my money already. I love this one. A bit slow at times. Cannot wait for the next one

Long and boring movie but great visuals and story telling

Holy hell this movie. Both these movies holy hell. Talk about all the important stuff just working amazingly to a film's advantage. From the score to the cinematography to the acting. The choices made with the adaptation I feel work. The tragic edge to Paul and Chani's love story leaves you heartbroken as Paul's choices pull him away from her. The underlying message of blindly following a political or religious leader fanatically is extremely relevant not only in the time the novel came out, but also in today's world. This was one of the movies I saw twice within days of my first viewing. I can't recommend both this and Part 1 enough. I can't wait to see how they do Messiah.

Really really really slow…I’m not sure why everyone loves this movie so much.

This is a must see if you liked Dune: Part One. If anything this film was even better than the first!

A complete snooze fest!!! Only sophisticated people with no sense of reality would actually be able to stay awake for the entirety of this boring movie!

Dusty Game of thrones on drugs. Another Sci-fi medieval nonsensical story filled with soap opera-acting and insulting Shakespeare inspired lines. Extremely boring, just like part one. Can’t believe I spent my 4 dollars on this.

Tedious and slow. The cinematography is excellent, but the story is just way too slow. If you want to see a 110 lb kid with glorious hair running around in skin tight pants, then this is the movie for you. To be honest I never even finished this movie. I've tried four or five times and I either fall asleep or turn it off. After this disaster (and Rebel Moon) I'm really salivating for a good sci-fi epic. At least the Mad Max movies were good. That's where you should go If you're looking for something good...

It's Dune again. More of the same.

Master piece. Loved it

very beautifull movie, whatching in a big scree was an unforgetable experience, the best movie of all time, the cast the cinematography so good,

First was much better. This one had nice build then was insane speed run to end . I need to go do this , bam done, I need go here, bam he's there.

A masterful, thought provoking adaptation of one of the greatest sci fi novels ever written.

En una segunda parte increíble!, la película maneja de forma increíble el aspecto de las creencias y el desarrollo de la película es espectacular, Mucho más que decir.

Dune: Part Two concludes the epic adaptation blissfully. It’s a love letter to sci-fi enthusiasts who relish the grandeur of an epic movie theater experience in cinema art. With visuals and performances that are spot-on, Dune Part 1 & 2 are exemplary of why moviegoers flock to theaters to immerse themselves in the grandeur of the title waves they yearn to be swept away by. Grading: A+

Awe inspiring in it's vision, depth , sheer scale. Really gets deeper into the story and legend with great and powerful acting and amazing special effects. Considering the amount of material covered in the book, I think this is a fantastic film transformation and as blockbusters go lived up to the hype.

One giant soap opera. All most no, no, no action. Talk talk talk . I wonder why so many people gave this movie a thumbs up? I think it was just people copying others. Glad this series is over.

Dune: Part Two is a breathtaking continuation of Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi epic, blending stunning visuals, masterful storytelling, and raw emotion into a cinematic masterpiece. Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya deliver electrifying performances as Paul and Chani, while the supporting cast shines in their nuanced roles. The film balances epic action with intimate character moments, all elevated by Hans Zimmer’s haunting score. With its rich political narrative and jaw-dropping spectacle, Dune: Part Two cements itself as a modern classic and a must-see on the biggest screen possible.

It's an OK sci-fi movie with great effects, music and landscapes that has nothing to do with the books. Characters diminished, the fiercest faction represented as a mob of fanatics, the importance of water and spice totally overlooked... A lot of situations become incomprehensible for those who did not read the books and only went to enjoy the movie.

brilliant movie. zendaya and timothee did so well

One of the best movies i ever watched

Sequels don’t always live up to their predecessors, but Dune: Part 2 brilliantly defies this rule. This film delivers a vision that reminded me of what I thought science fiction cinema had lost: greatness. More than just a good movie, it’s a timeless classic, a true masterpiece!

“Dune: Part 2” is perfectly different from your average Sci-Fi action movie. Exploring themes of the dangers of false messiahs and political manipulation make this visually stunning film an absolute spectacle!

I could watch this again and again. Bravo.

I didn’t think Dune 2 could be more boring and slow moving than Dune, but it’s close.

Better than the very highly overrated book, and with plenty of good special effects, but ultimately just another tedious, overly serious sci-fi variation of medieval feudal wars among emperors, dukes, barons, magical sorcery, and plucky indigenes fighting for freedom. As in many sci-fi stories of this type, the warring is a nonsensical mashup of high-tech weaponry and ancient steel blade hand-to-hand combat. The similarities to Islamic culture and bloodthirsty religious fanaticism is a turnoff and insulting. Couldn't wait for this movie to be done.

Breathtakingly beautiful. A must-watch, especially right after watching the first one.

Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) verbündet sich mit Chani und den Fremen, um sich an den Verschwörern zu rächen, die seine Familie umgebracht haben. Infolgedessen muss er sich zwischen der Liebe seines Lebens und dem Schicksal des Universums entscheiden. Dune Part Eins war ein sehr guter Einstieg in die Filmreihe. War zwar schwierig hereinzukommen, aber er ist ein Science-Fiction-Epos. Dune Part Zwei ist viel besser als sein Vorgänger. Dies muss schon etwas heißen, da ich diesen auch sehr gut fand. Der Film sieht besser aus als sein Vorgänger. Während Teil 1 sehr helles Bild hatte, ist es hier dunkel gehalten. Die Handlung hat mir auch mehr gefallen und ist einfacher zu verstehen. Es gibt drei Charaktere im Film, wo die Inszenierung bzw. Weiterentwicklung einigen Leute nicht mögen werden oder sogar hassen. Austin Butler könnte für einige zu übertrieben sein. Das Gleiche gilt für die Mutter von Paul. Und Paul ist am Ende, eventuell zu unsympathisch. Dune Part Two ist ein Science Fiction Meisterwerk. Der Film endet perfekt und man hat Lust auf den nächsten Teil.

This movie was absolute rubbish. I read all of the Dune series and your movie does not do the book justice. Could you have managed to completely miss the whole story line?! The Fremen were not Muslim, or any sort of earthly religion. This whole movie is an insult the Frank Herbert's masterpiece. The guy that plays Paul, is totally unsuitable for the part of Paul Atreides. The 1984 film with Kyle MacLachlan was disappointing, but this one is a complete disaster. No doubt the mass Neanderthal types will love all the fighting and explosions, but it has little to do with the actual story. In future, I will steer clear of any Denis Villeneuve/ Jon Spaihts movies. I love the Dune series, and at 71 yo, you ruined what should have been an outstanding film. Please do not do any more on the Dune series. Leave it to others who have a better sense of what the story was actually about. I guess it is just a sign of the times. Just another really bad movie.

This movie is one of the best I have ever seen. It is up there with movies like the Fifth Element, and Interstellar. The lack of recognition by film critics and awards is shocking to me. This is the only film I’ve seen in 2024 that will become a classic. I will never get sick of watching it. It looks amazing, it sounds amazing, it’s emotional and captivating. I’m so excited for Messiah.

"Dune: Part Two" is hands down the best movie of the year. Denis Villeneuve has outdone himself, delivering a sci-fi epic that's both visually stunning and emotionally gripping. Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya bring depth and intensity to their roles, making Paul and Chani's journey utterly compelling. The film's breathtaking cinematography and Hans Zimmer's haunting score create an immersive experience that stays with you long after the credits roll. If you're looking for a movie that combines spectacular action with profound storytelling, "Dune: Part Two" is a must-see.

Cannot believe the embarrassing directing of the mighty Stilgar as some blubbering disciple of lowly rank, the lack of gravitas to any of Paul's directing in his acting or delivery, with juvenile outbursts replacing all the wisdom he is supposed to exude. The movie is nothing resembling the author's work, with all impactful scenes and meaning removed, zero appearance of Paul's sister (the best part and entire climax of the book), a pathetic portrayal of the great sandstorm, a completely lame and lackluster entrance by Paul and his forces into the throne room. Even the great houses refused to believe in Paul presenting any threat, showing the director truly possessed no ability to even comprehend why this book was popular. The scene with the surrender of the emperor was so bland as to be unbelievable. Even the 'famous' knife fights was a great drought of imagination. They knife fights deserved Matrix-level filmography and choreography. They were as bad as you would imagine, shot essentially in a single take, with zero editing whatsoever, zero use of slow-mo, zero gravity at all, with Paul appearing to possess literally zero superhuman ability. Every shot of dialog in this movie was the most bland and talentless directing I've ever seen, with Paul's famous wisdom and gravitas being completely swapped for petulant tantrums and outbursts of an angry juvenile delinquent. Do not re-read the book before watching this, or you will be depressed how much the director destroyed was was one of the best stories ever told. All of the best parts of the book were completely removed, and everything remaining was completely changed to be much worse. All the excellent costuming and set design (some of the best of recent sci-fi) will turn to ash in your mouth because of the talentless director.

"Dune: Part Two" delivers an epic-scale conclusion to Denis Villeneueve's cinematic adaptation of Frank Herbert's novel. Visually-speaking, what was achieved on screen is remarkable. Kudos needs to be given to the effects artists for bringing Villeneueve's vision to life. The film does have issues with editing and pacing but doesn't lose entertaining value in its long running time.

Visually stunning. So impressed with the first two movies. I'm not familiar with the book or story line of where it's supposed to go. I've just enjoyed following it as it develops. Can really get into the emotional experience of the reluctant chosen one story line. Love this.

This film has such a high-rating consensus by the critics that it's alamsot blasphemous for me to argue against the film. To understand my lower rating you must start by seeing DUNE (the original movie, directed by David Lynch, in 1984. This was the first movie adaptation of Herbert's book, Dune. In 137 minutes this remarkable 1984 film managed to wrap up the same plot that it took the current director two films to cover, with scenes that were simply frequently not equaled in the modern version. Aside from this, the ending in Dune 2 in particular irked me: Zendaya, and to some extent, Chalomet, are kids picked for their box office draw potential. Their immaturity, especially Zendaya's, unfortunately, makes trite her character. Finally, the knife fight in the modern version cannot compare with the original knife fight, especially in how it ended. Somehow, with no super powers, the hero, magically reverses the blade and it stabs to death the evil villain. And then Zendaya runs out, refusing to bow to the hero, and the ending scene has her wanting to ride a worm in the desert when the actual battle is above in the sky. How SHE, not anyone else, warrants the ending shot in the film is beyond me. Will I see the next film, because with this film's ending there has to be a part 3, of course I'll watch it. But that does not, again, change my recommendation to anyone in love with these two modern versions of Dune, to see the original 1984 movie and then assess these new versions with that film in mind.

Epic, hands down. The movie of the year.

This is a sample of "sequels can work".

Dune Part Two shines with its stunning cinematography, immersing viewers in the world of Arrakis. Roger Deakins and Denis Villeneuve craft a visually striking and emotionally potent portrayal of the desert planet, making the audience feel deeply connected to the Fremen's world. Particularly impressive are the sequences depicting the Fremen riding sandworms, which are both thrilling and beautifully executed. Chani, portrayed by Zendaya, has a much more prominent role in this film compared to the first. Her character adds depth to the story, particularly in exploring the Fremen’s skepticism of Paul Atreides as their Messiah. Her evolving belief in Paul and recognition of his transformation into something otherworldly provide compelling layers to her character and their relationship. The performances are stellar across the board. Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan, Christopher Walken as the Emperor, and Austin Butler as Feyd-Rautha deliver memorable portrayals, with Butler standing out despite some media overhype. Returning cast members, including Timothée Chalamet and Rebecca Ferguson, also shine, especially in showcasing the evolution of Paul and Lady Jessica. Their transformations into powerful, almost alien figures are fascinating, though at times abrupt. The ending, while exciting, felt slightly incomplete. Chani’s departure and the final sandworm scene left the reviewer intrigued but yearning for more closure. However, this anticipation heightens excitement for the third installment. Overall, Dune Part Two successfully continues the saga, blending stunning visuals, strong performances, and a nuanced narrative. Despite minor critiques, the film leaves audiences eagerly awaiting the next chapter.

I have never seen a movie as visually stunning as this, and I've been watching movies for 60 years.

This is the best adaptation, so far, of Dune but there are still areas that could be improved. Notably the Chani scenes, involving her petulance, which is not in the book. Equally nothing about Alia which again is in the book. The fight between Feyd and Paul is well done but I'm not sure Timothy Chalamet really masters Paul. I think I preferred Kyle MacLachlan in the 1984 version more, not sure they both have their pros and cons. Austin Butler as Feyd was superb. Great film but still not there yet imo.

An incredible adaptation. This is not an easy book to put up on the silver screen. Good pace and continuity. Mr V is brilliant and deserves all the kudos possible.

One of the best movies this year and in general amazing effects love the speech too

I was withholding judgement on the movies until I saw Part Two, but now I can say that I guess Dune is just not for me. They’re visually stunning films. Denis Villeneuve has done an amazing job of creating a universe that is unique, immersive, and oddly realistic. However, I just can’t get behind the story. It’s convoluted and seems like it’s intentionally trying to be inaccessible at times. Dune: Part Two is more action-packed than the first installment, yet I still felt like it was leaving those who haven’t read the books in the dust. Dune is what non-sci-fi fans fear science fiction will be.

Esto es lo que yo llamo una película hecha por amor al cine de calidad, este año se destacó por tener pelos con el hype alto y varios cumplieron (Deadpool y Wolverine) y otras defraudan (Joker: Folie a deux), está está en la primera sin lugar a dudas. Lo más destacó de esta obra maestra son los efectos visuales y sonoros, la banda musical, las actuaciones, los escenarios, la fotografía y la dirección. En resumen, son casi 3 horas de acción y drama que no te dejan mover un músculo de tu asiento.

The first Dune film that made sense. Writing, acting, filming, are all great. 90% because the rating system is 5 stars. Why not let me give it a 93% Tomato people?

Great effects. Over all very entertaining.

Even an IMAX showing of this Part Two did not make it any better. I loved Part One, but this one is just bleh. The story is pretty boring, which didn't help in the acting (waste of talent all around). The action sequences are okay, but who really cares about those anymore when they're not in support of the storyline. All in all, this felt like a money grab for the inevitable Part Three. They should have finished the story in this part, though.

Featuring absolutely staggering visuals, Dune: Part Two is an arresting, transportive middle entry in Denis Villeneuve’s tricky sci-fi saga.

One of the best movies ever !

A more compelling, less slow film than the first. The ensemble fills out with a who's who of young Hollywood and continued tremendous work from the returning ensemble including great, unexpectedly comedic work from Javier Bardem. The "Dune" world is further established and Paul Atreidis' story really gets rolling as he accepts the Messiah like role that he seems to be destined for. The romance is lovely and made palpable by the chemistry and talent of Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya. The spring release will not bode well for it making a repeat Oscar splash as the first one during COVID but it's a much better film than the first. And the first one was good. The cliffhanger ending bothered me quite a bit especially knowing that the team who made these first two movies might not be reassembling, most notably director Denis Villineuve.

Perfection. Will be a shame if it does not win best picture

Magnificent, movie of the year, no questions asked.

Una gran epopeya visual y narrativa, aquí los efectos visuales se ven superiores a la anterior entrega y aquí los actores y los personajes si se lucen más, aquí abarca ya por los últimos actos del libro y si que aquí cambian un poco la historia al respecto en el libro aun si lo retrata muy bien, aquí tenemos un protagonista que termina siendo un falso mesías rompiendo el arquetipo y nos muestran una historia única, aquí arrakis nos muestra todo su potencial y tiene escenas de acción, planos imponentes y un mundo desiertico más vivo que nunca, esta obra prácticamente cumple todo lo que una joya debe ser, con una secuela que supera por mucho su precesador, sin duda la mejor película de este año y una obra junto con la primera parte que le hacen honor a la Novela.

There are rare, precious moments in cinema, where you can literally feel you're witnessing something profoundly special. The second film in the Dune series contains those moments of pure magic. This second act, in Villeneuve's masterpiece - is visually exquisite, superbly acted and the result is an emotionally-charged epic, an absolute gem of a movie. The only upset arrives, when you realise the end is nearing! Utterly transfixing from start to finish; I cannot wait for the third installment, nor the chance to see this one again ❤️

A sci-fi epic of the highest order. Denis Villeneuve just keeps getting better with every film he makes.

Absolutely the best film of the year with an earth shattering performance from Timothee Chalamet and amazing visuals. The story is moving and engaging.

This is cinema, had me on the edge of my seat the entire film. One of the best experiences at a movie theater i’ve ever had.

another incredible performance by TC!! one of the year’s strongest

One of the few things put out by Hollywood over the last several years that lived up to the hype and did not disappoint. The visuals were again incredible, most of the performances were top notch, and the job they did of adapting the story to screen was, in my opinion, as good as one could hope for, giving the audience a satisfying conclusion (if they don’t continue to the story further) in two parts. I really enjoyed this movie and will most certainly rewatch, which is the true test for me.

Almost three hours of spectacular visuals, outstanding story, and mind-blowing acting. Every cast and crew gave their fullest, and it shines out bright in this masterpiece of a film. My only complaint: there's no IMAX aspect ratio home release, unlike Chris Nolan's movies. Also, parts of it felt like it could have been fleshed out better—but there's only so much you can do in a feature-length film. 4.98/5

Best saga, absolutely need to make a third movie, no doubt!

Wish I could give it 10 Stars

if I can give this 6 stars I would

Apesar de não ser tão bom quanto o seu predecessor, este filme consegue manter o espectador investido na história, possuindo ótimas atuações e belíssimos efeitos visuais. O principal problema, a meu ver, é o facto do filme parecer não conseguir encontrar um bom ritmo.

Breath taking. What a movie from the mind of Denis Villeneuve.

One of the most epic movies I've ever seen! I wasn't the biggest fan of the first one, so I took my time seeing this, and boy was I wrong and really wish I would have seen it in IMAX. My problem with the first was that I wasn't a big believer in Chamelet being able to portray Paul as the ONE. But he really stepped it up in this one and his transformation was amazing. The new characters brought in were all amazing additions, sans Walken, who I thought was the only actor mis-cast.

Genuinely the best blockbuster I’ve seen in theatres, possibly ever. HOLY CRAP does it have killer moments. I still go back to watch Paul’s speech in the cavern and his confrontation with the Emperor on youtube. The framing, the acting, the effects, literally EVERYthing comes together in this movie in a really really cool way

The one shining star lost adrift in the dreck of today’s SciFi. Lead us all to paradise.

In IMAX, this isn’t a movie, but an experience. It sounds amazing. It looks amazing. The plot simply shows and allows for the audience to fill in any gaps and is scant in exposition, despite the 165-minute run-time (which itself flies by). The appeal of Dune is that it creates a Sci-Fi universe blended with threads of medieval lore and imagery. There was a brief moment where it didn’t feel like Chalamet could possibly become Paul Atreides the warrior-messiah, but in the blink of an eye, he’s convincingly ordering the Emperor (Christopher Walken) to kiss his ring. The movie is near-perfectly cast, but I’d’ve preferred someone other than Walken as Shaddam IV. Javier Bardem as Stilgar, a minor role in Part 1, becomes a fan-favorite as a true believer in Paul as the Messiah. Believe it or not, Dune — Dune — offers one of the best love stories in cinema. They have to make Part 3, but I don’t know how they could possibly top this one. If you haven’t seen Part 1, stream it and then get to your local theater as soon as possible. I promise you will not be disappointed. Dune: Part 2 is why the theater experience exists.

Don’t get it 🤷🏽‍♀️

Simplemente y absolutamente… SUBLIME!!! La música, las actuaciones, los personajes, todo increíble.

A nice collection of visual effects and cool independent scenes. But like the book, the movie is pointless and lacks any positive qualities.

Highly entertaining sci-fi masterpiece. The story line is strong, amazing effects and the cast is spot on with the characters. Javier Bardem and Chalamet play really we off each other.

An Amazing movie. Honestly, I can't think of anything that it can improve on. it deserves to win all the Oscars it Is nominated for, and more. Definitely 2024's best movie. I would give it a 98%

This film is in my top 5 films of all time. This is Frank Herbert’s Sci-fi masterwork perfectly adapted on the big screenThis film sensational. Possibly the greatest sequel of all time & now the greatest Sci-Fi film ever made! An absolute masterclass of filmmaking. A compelling, heart-stopping, non-stop symphony of amazing visuals, incredible action, and complex character evolution and drama, that takes the foundation set by the first part and builds it into one the greatest action epics of our time! Dune: Part One was primarily exposition, Part Two is the payoff. I can’t wait for the older film houses to show part 1 & 2 back to back so I can watch these in the cinema again.

You can't just watch this , you must experience it in the largest IMAX theater or Dolby Cinema nearest you.

I liked this even more than the first. They did such a wonderful job with the war and villains, and escalation of conflict among the characters.

Haven't read the books but love the movies. Great casting, great acting and great writing. Very entertaining and well worth your time if you've your sci fi

Fantastic film. Great performances. Sensational effects. A must see!

It's a pice of art and hand of to the cinematography

This movie was amazing!

I found it too long with lots of repetitive conversations between characters and disjointed scenes culminating in the final “Holy War” scene where any Commander orbiting the planet with half a brain cell would have destroyed the ships as they tried to leave the planet 🥱

Absolutely Phenomenal performances by all actors. The film is a visually stunning masterpiece and absolutely does Frank Herbert's work justice. The score is also pretty good.

Momentous experience!

The stunning visuals, powerful performances, and gripping action in Dune: Part Two make it a triumph. Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya excel, while Villeneuve’s direction elevates the saga to new heights.

Best movie of the year

It gets me every time I watch this movie… And to be frank, Interstellar is my favorite movie! The story lies not only in the exploration of space but it goes way further, deeper into another dimension, the dimension we call - LOVE. It gets me every time I watch this movie… And to be frank, Interstellar is my favorite movie! The story lies not only in the exploration of space but it goes way further, deeper into another dimension, the dimension we call - LOVE. Of course... one of the greatest movie scores ever composed, composed by the master of sound—Hans Zimmer. The music score has its own life in the movie. I’ve listened to my vinyl record countless times, and each time I hear the composition, I can feel the emotional impact that was created in the movie. 11/10

Great movie. Can't wait for the next one.

Fantastic movie can’t wait for the sequel

A sprawling and slightly jumbled affair carried by strong world-building and a stand-out cast. Frank Herbert's material certainly comes to life and the combination of stunning visuals with incredible sound design makes Dune Part Two every bit as captivating as Part One. These are not easy books to turn into film, especially given the environment and the sfx needed, but Villeneuve is absolutely smashing it. If anything, despite its long run-time, it feels like it needed longer to do all its many arcs justice.

The worst part is that it's very long and leaves you wanting more.

This would have been better if all of the conflict for the main character wasn't remediated without real struggle. In the words of Pitch Meeting, Super easy, barely and inconvenience. It's visually stunning but I needed more from the characters, that's just me.

Really boring movie

best movie of the year I bet

"I am the Lisan Al Gaib"

Very good action movie!

Have to put this within my top 10 movies for sure! the build up they had since the first movie has me on edge considering what Paul had to go through in the first part and how he answers his calling in the second and become the prophet the foreseen in the first part. 10/10 for sure

Dune: Part Two is a masterpiece that surpasses its predecessor, blending jaw-dropping visuals with a deeply emotional story. Timothée Chalamet delivers a stunning performance as Paul Atreides, while Zendaya shines as Chani, anchoring the epic in humanity. Denis Villeneuve creates a breathtaking world, with unforgettable sequences like Paul’s sandworm ride and a haunting score by Hans Zimmer. The film balances massive spectacle with profound themes of power, destiny, and sacrifice, cementing Dune as a sci-fi saga for the ages. It’s not just a movie—it’s an unforgettable experience.

Imagery was amazing score even better

Very boring and the pacing is horrible do not read

Dune: Part Two is one of the best movies of recent times. It's got all the action, romance, and drama you could need, not to mention epic music by Hans Zimmer.

Truly a one-of-a-kind experience. The performances, the cinematography, the overall vision, & the gorgeous score all make this a top-tier science fiction film & an emotionally fulfilling one as well.

I’m not big in on this type of movie, but I decided to watch this series on HBO MAX, I must say this last episode was exceptional and really tied in the first two for me! Bravo!! Can’t wait for the rest of the series! Job well done!

Great cinematography!!!

Sorry but just don't get tye hype, it was sooo boring. I just didn't feel the characters and didn't care. Five of us went to cinema and all said the same, could wait for it to be over!

This movie feels grand within its own universe, just as it should in our movie watching universe. A movie this good for this niche felt overdue after seeing it. Went back and watched it 2 more times in theatres. BA acting clinics and a creative delivery of what this universe is supposed to feel like. This is now in the short list of ‘untouchable man movies’ for me now.

Top notch score, acting, and respectful of source material. Saw it twice on the big screen. This movie was meant to be seen on the big screen especially the epic worm riding scene!

Despite some admitted improvements in tone and performance, I think that I prefer the Lynch version, literal and figurative warts and all. In the contemporary method of film making, the operative rule seems to be "Never do anything at normal speed when you can do it in slow motion. Never do anything in five minutes when you can do it in twenty. And most of all, never do anything in a single three-hour movie when you can do it in TWO twenty-seven hour movies and make twice the goddamn money." If the first one was overlong by half an hour, this is overlong by at least twice that. I think this picture's runtime could be cut in HALF without the audience missing a single thing. OK, so it's not as bloated as Peter Jackson's trilogy of HOBBIT movies blown up from a short kid's book . . . but close. Very close. For all the improvements this one makes over the Lynch version, it's all thrown away by the bloat. It's more bloated than Baron Harkonen himself. It bears out the opinion I had of the same director's stink-bomb BLADE RUNNER sequel: the man is a completely undisciplined bore. This is a movie that is only worth watching because of its source material. And I think you could read the damn book in the time it takes to watch this thing. So, ultimately, why bother?

1 Star: Originality 1 Star: Visuals 1 Star: Story line and sequencing 1 Star: Cast and Acting 1 Star: Story depth and film production Probably the best sci-fi movie I have ever seen!

Overall its a great movie although it definitely could have benefited from slowing down and explaining (or showing) why things happen, IE, showing more from the source material.

This movie is a set up for the final outcome. It is deep in the understanding of how to thread the needle to step into true power. Unbelievably cinematic. The understanding in how to lead and over come fears. Actions speak louder than words, we have all heard. And this movie shows it. One would say it’s a movie of revenge, but it’s more than that. You just have to watch the actions of those on the screen and they show it fully. I love how the characters speak so short yet so full of emotion and understanding. Short, sweet and to the point. If I could give more than five stars I would. Everyone who had a hand in this deserves an award even the first movie included.

Absolutely stunning - visuals, performances, music, production values, everything. A truly epic film and a great adaptation of the source material.

In the vast tapestry of science fiction cinema, *Dune: Part Two* emerges as a singular triumph—a transcendent masterpiece that defies convention and redefines the boundaries of epic storytelling. Denis Villeneuve’s continuation of Frank Herbert’s magnum opus is a visual and emotional tour de force, a journey that sweeps audiences into a realm where destiny, power, and human resilience collide against the cosmic expanse of Arrakis. The film deepens its roots in Herbert's intricate lore, while never losing sight of its human core. Timothée Chalamet’s Paul Atreides transforms from a young nobleman burdened by prophecy into a force of nature, embodying both vulnerability and commanding presence. Opposite him, Zendaya’s Chani finally takes centre stage, her portrayal suffused with strength and quiet determination, breathing life into the desert's fiercest warrior. Visually, *Dune: Part Two* is breathtaking—a symphony of light and shadow that turns every frame into a painting. From the shimmering dunes of Arrakis to the monolithic fortresses of House Corrino, Villeneuve and cinematographer Greig Fraser craft a landscape so otherworldly yet viscerally real that it feels as though one could reach out and touch the sand. Hans Zimmer’s score, a tempest of sound and emotion, binds it all together, vibrating with the pulse of the story and echoing in the soul long after the credits roll. But it is in its themes that the film truly soars. It wrestles with the nature of power, the weight of destiny, and the thin line between saviour and destroyer. It asks hard questions about leadership and sacrifice, all while delivering the kind of visceral, heart-pounding spectacle that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats. The sandworm sequences alone are worth the price of admission—colossal, terrifying, and imbued with a sense of divine majesty. Dune: Part Two is not just a sequel; it is an elevation. It solidifies Villeneuve’s adaptation as one of the most faithful and imaginative in cinematic history, a gift to fans of Herbert’s work and a revelation for newcomers. As the credits roll and the final notes of Zimmer’s score fade, one cannot help but sit in stunned silence, the weight of the journey sinking in—a journey through sand, stars, and the infinite depths of human ambition. This is not merely a film. It is an experience—a testament to the power of cinema to transport, to challenge, and to inspire. In the end, Dune: Part Two leaves us staring into the desert winds, humbled by its immensity and yearning for more.

A worthy sequel that expands the universe and delves deeper into its complex mythology. While pacing issues may arise, the film's stunning visuals and strong performances make it a satisfying conclusion to the first part. I can't wait to see what Villeneuve has in store for Part Three!

I watched it for the cast and the excellent reviews. But honestly, if you're not a huge sci-fi buff or you haven't read the books, you probably won't like it and you may not even finish it. They could have easily used this cast to make a much cheaper (from a special effects standpoint) movie that we'd all understand and enjoy. Having said that, the ending is pretty good (although even that's derivative - I've seen it before). Bare in mind the film isn't short either.

I’m adamant when reviewing part one some time ago, I used the term epic. I don’t know a word beyond that for this part two. I believe a third part is in the works, AND I CANNOT WAIT. For those of age that watched the original movie back in the day, a movie which I believe was ahead of its time, please make the effort to view this, accept, and believe. I promise you will be totally blown away by the uprise of Paul Atreides if you were a fan of the original. Absolute gold. 🙂

Entertainment that is a spectacle both visually and narratively, mixing action, politics, religion, romance in an organic and almost perfect way. The whimsy of the production/direction in each scene is enough to bring tears of satisfaction to any self-respecting cinephile. It adds up to a strong cast with a lot of acting and Dune: part two makes us can't wait to watch the third.

Dune Part 2... was just phenomenal. A truly beautiful sci-fi film; the movie Iooks and sounds incredible on the IMAX screen... what an emotional journey! Paul Atreides character arc to The One is done brilliantly and Timothée Chalamet made me believe. Just wow! Zendaya, Austin Butler and Florence Pugh are all great on screen too and Denis Villeneuve has created something very special indeed. The cinematography once again is truly outstanding and Hans Zimmer's score grabs your attention, right from the get go. I left our IMAX screening with my mind blown... Now bring on Dune Messiah, I can’t wait!

As a fan boy of the original, I found the first movie a little soulless and I didn't expect much of the second. Boy was I wrong, up there with the blockbusters of the past. Really enjoyed the whole thing, something I havent been able to say for sometime.

Bored. So slow. Didnt connect with the characters. Overrated.

starts out so slow people were walking out 1 hour into the movie. save your time and skip the first 2 hours . just not good all around

Non-stop awesomeness. I know it departs from the book a bit but damn this movie is good. Great story, amazing acting, and overall one of my favorite movie experiences of all time.

I like the 1st one better, but still movie was good

Melhor filme dos últimos anos! Muito foda!

Com toda certeza será o filme do ano! Muito boa a sequência deste filme!

Fucking boring movie! The movie could have just been the last 50 minutes.

Mid. Very disappointing

Decently entertaining when compared to other current films but not life-changing. A few weeks later, I couldn't remember the plot of this movie. This is how unmoving it was.

Mehor adaptaçao de um livro de ficçao cientifica

Continues the dredge through a poorly shot world, offering nothing of value.

Go watch it. [Emperor's voice] DEW IT! DEW IT NOW DAMMIT!

I am a fan of Frank Herbert and have read all of his books concerning Dune, as well as most of those written by his son after his father's death. Dune Part One was a close approximation to the book - no problems with that. But I have to ask if the director had read Part Two before starting its filming. Or did he think he could tell a better story? (As if!) The cinematography is amazing, the fight scenes exciting but the haphazard presentation of the story is pants! It simply doesn't hang together; those who have never read the book might well be left scratching their heads trying to follow the plot. The characters are one dimensional. Some of the actors are miscast. A great deal of the horror and menace is missing. So are some wonderful little touches of humour. The timescale of Part Two covers less than nine months, whereas that part of the book covers about four years. One of the main characters, Alia, Paul's sister, is still in her mother's womb as the credits roll. This robs the end of the film of a wonderful scene in which she mocks (and then kills) her grandfather, Baron Harkonnen. The end of the film is horribly rushed - was the money or daylight running out? The book builds up to a really exciting double climax but it is rushed in the film. And as for Chani's exit, what was the director thinking? A main feature of the book is the relationship between her and Paul. Two diametrically opposite people, literally from different worlds, whose attraction grows into real love, and counterposes the end of the book where Paul marries Irulan in name only to acquire his title as Emperor; known as 'courtly love' (or not in this case). A complete Horlicks! I can only think that 'professional' reviewers haven't read the original story - their loss. If they had, their reviews would have been far less glowing.

I liked it.. solid 8/10. Good set up movie!

Wonderful, sublime, monumental, shocking, there are simply not enough words to describe one of the best films of recent years, an epic soundtrack, a shocking story.

Dune: Part II is epic in all senses.

Direção: Bom Atuação: Bom Roteiro: Bom Caracterização: Bom Soundtrack: Bom

Became my shared favourite movie after watching it twice in cinema. Just a visual spectacle with the, in my opinion , most beautiful coloured shot ever with the beginning with the eclipse. Great acting by the young leads and my favourite monolouge from paul in the Cave.

An all-time cinematic experience. Don’t miss out on watching, and watch on the biggest screen with the best speakers as possible. If you weren’t big on the first dune, you will still enjoy this.

Amazing in every way.

Absolute masterpiece of a film. I can’t imagine a better film could possibly be made. Utter perfection in terms of how a movie should be made.

Dune: Part 2 is a colossal journey through a mesmerizingly vast universe, shaped by Denis Villeneuve’s visionary mastery. Each frame is a visual marvel, with the cinematography capturing the haunting beauty of the desert landscape, giving us a sense of both awe and insignificance. Villeneuve's direction elevates every moment into a sublime experience, blending visual grandeur with profound themes of power and destiny. Yet, at the end of this epic voyage, it all boils down to a simple knife duel—a raw confrontation that feels almost humble in contrast to the immense buildup. Dune is, undeniably, an unforgettable saga that Villeneuve has crafted with meticulous care.

Incredible movie. I have read the book and liked the first part, but this second one is much better. Absolutely masterpiece.

Boring once again and this time I did fall asleep and turn it off. Next. 1.5/5 Stars.

Peak cinema. Much better than the first.

Todo bien. Paul disfrutando de su amor con Chany, queriendo olvidarse de la profecía, su venganza y deberes hacia su familia. Excelentemente bien adaptado su entrenamiento y ascenso Fremen. Y como después de beber el agua de vida ve su única alternativa. Solo el final no me gusto pues creo recordar que en el libro Paul le advierte a la princesa desde el inicio que será su esposa solo de nombre para conseguir "legítimamente" el Imperio, pero que nunca seria nada de nada para él y lo dice delante de todos como castigo para ella como para su padre y para que Chany supiera que ella seguiría siendo la única. Creo que si se enoja pero termina entendiendo. Espero que la siguiente no empiece con media hora de pelicula con Paul tratando de contentarla y a su vez, que no empiecen las discrepancias mayores con los libros. Por todo lo demás, excelente adaptación. Ya estoy deseando ver como se las arreglaran para presentar el método de producción artificial de especia de cierta otra raza que sale mas adelante en la historia; sin herir susceptibilidades de muchos en estos tiempos que corren.

This one was much better. I loved the worms. It made me interested in Dune, so I watched some videos on what the books are and I do not want to see the next movie.

Absolutely delivers on practically all fronts. Easily the best movie of 2024. I think this does far more than the first entry in every way imaginable.

Dune: Part Two - 10/10. Epic in every stretch of the manner. I really liked the first film, and I get why people were a little critical of it in a sense (due to the fact the movie was a setup of the world rather than a typical part one film). Part 2 amplifies and rushes forward with its premise and world, and now that we are familiar with the protagonist and the people he is fighting with, its just up and onwards with the magnitude of the film. Timothee is really good here. I had reservations for his performance in the first film, but here, he slowly forms into becoming a leader (albeit, one with grey shades). Overall, the epic scope of the world is upped here, thanks to the brilliant eye of Villeneuve. Its hard to do a sequel which doesn’t feel like its lost its character and tone with a bigger budget. But here, he crafts everything with a precision and execution that makes you understand and marvel his craftsmanship as a director. In terms of the story though, I really liked the direction it was going. Power and how it changes a person is an age old adage for stories, and its shown in a great way here too. It makes me wonder as to where the story is going, and how much of the power will get to Paul’s head. Also, loved Javier Bardem’s hilariously devotional character to Timothee’s here. Unintentionally, was the most hilarious character here. An IMAX spectacle that you need to see! I won’t go as far as saying its an all time classic, but I do agree its a top tier sequel to an already great first film in a series!

I am a long term fan of Frank Herbert’s Dune series, particularly the first three novels. I thought Villeneuve did a fantastic job of his first Dune film and, given the complexities of the story, could scarcely have done better. I am now going to offend some viewers by saying that I have not yet been able to watch Dune 2 but please read on. The reason is that I have been told that the ending sees Chani leave Paul as he is betrothed to Princess Irulan and escape to the deep desert, broken hearted. This is ALL wrong. From the time they became lovers until they died, Paul and Chani truly loved and trusted only each other. Paul was like his father. Please, reviewers, read or reread the end pages of the first book. You will know exactly how it ended, which is how it continued, both true to each other until Chani died giving birth to the twins - the latter being the story of the third book. This false ending, to me, is a change so far removed from Herbert’s great vision as to be without sense or value, and diminishes Paul as a person who was both complex and steadfast, and diminishes the close relationship which was so essential to the following three books. Chani was his beloved lover, friend, anchor and wise counsel, and his survival after her death was as a sort of diminished guru, with the smugglers of Jacurutu until his later emergence as ‘The Preacher’. I will watch Dune 2 eventually. Miriam Prider

almost everything about it was great.

I keep thinking I am seeing a different film than everyone else with Dune. Like the first I had no feelings for any of the characters and found the film as slow as watching paint dry.

Deadpool three was great love to see the Wolverine Hugh Jackman back together with Deadpool and the originals love when I brought back blade and gambit played by Justin Tatum I wish they’d bring a fourth Deadpool movie but to be continued

I know this won't be a popular opinion, but I think Villeneuve totally ruined the end of Dune. He's relegated Chani to being a pathetic, butthurt girl. She known exactly why Paul is marrying Irulan, and does not have a problem with it. By making her storm off in such an ver the top manner suggests Villeneuve either didn't read the entire book, or he simply didn't understand it. Yes, he needed a conduit to get him into Messiah, but he chose to completely change a character. Chani is one of the most clever characters in Dune, and for Villeneuve to have the outright temerity to rewrite Frank Herbert is a clear reflection of his ego and inability to tell a story in its proper fashion. Paul marrying Irulan automatically sidelines her character and places Chani in her proper place, at Paul's side, which is clearly Frank Herbert's intent. The perfectly idiotic decision to leave Alia completely out of the story is yet more proof that Villeneuve fundamentally doesn't understand the story Frank Herbert created. It takes the magic out of the Baron's death, and sets the tone for the character in the second book, Dune: Messiah. Stupid, stupid, stupid. It's bad enough that Frank's son Brian and Kevin J. Anderson have treated the Dune saga like their own personal meal ticket, producing well over a dozen books that clearly demonstrate a fundamental misunderstanding of what Frank Herbert intended Dune to be. And now Villeneuve has done the same. It's always a mistake to rewrite the work of a genius to tell your own pedestrian story. I will happily skip the third installment of this steadily worsening pile of crap "interpretation" and continue to yearn for an actual "adaptation" of Herbert's work. Oh, wait-- there is an actual adaptation of Dune, Dune: Messiah, and Children of Dune. The two miniseries from the Sci-Fi channel. That is how you adapt a trilogy of books for film or TV. All it takes is a tiny bit of respect for the creator of the stories, which sadly Villeneuve does not demonstrate.

Peak movie, greatest cinematography, amazing plot, captivating and somewhat funny movie.

Dune: Part Two (2024) David Lynch's film is superior to Denise Villenueve's two films. Dune Part Two (2024) 6/10 stars rating. David Lynch's film is superior to Denise Villenueve's two films based on Frank Herbert's Dune book, Dune (1984) wins in cast, costume design, soundtrack, movie quotes and imagination. Herbert's heirs only take money but they didn't ask for the film to be faithful to the book, just like the fans of the book did with Dune (1984) now those fans are silent. Chani and his attitude too masculine to be copied by girls and it seems like he just wanted to get attention and steal the spotlight in a terrible way. They made fun of religious fanaticism in this film, a mockery mainly of Middle Eastern beliefs. Both Villenueve films are too long, in one film the Laurentiis and Lynch version was told in less time 2 hours and 16 minutes, people are wasting their sacred gift of life in front of the screen, around 6 hours to watch both Denise Villenueve films. The last act of Villenueve's film is very disappointing, the battle in Lynch's 1984 film was much better, had a great soundtrack and was more faithful to the book, for example Alia kills her grandfather Baron Vladimir Harkonnen with the gom jabbar and on top of that they didn't include in that 1984 cut the death of Thufir Hawat and when Paul takes the Emperor's daughter Princess Irulan as his wife. This appears in the extra material and in an edited version on YouTube. The best possible version of Frank Herbert's Dune would be David Lynch's extended version with Thufir Hawat's death and other scenes unused so that the cut would last only 2 hours and 16 minutes, that cut would be better than all three Dune films. But the very angry David Lynch does not want to make his Director's Cut. Lynch instead of asking for forgiveness for Polanski should have made his cut of Dune. These recent films in computer effects only surpass the version of Dune (1984). In this second part of Dune by Villanueve it seems that he had a smaller budget than the first Dune film that he directed. It seems that the professional reviews were exaggerated to promote Denise Villenueve's two films. Also, the box office takings of the two Villanueve films were hardly credible, that was to make them seem like big hits. Quite the opposite with George Miller with Furiosa, someone seems to have used the box office figures to terminate his contract with Wasteland. These versions of Villenueve based on the work of Frank Herbert are not even faithful to the book.

Austin looked creepy but it was good

the worms are sick and the soundtrack was ominous.

The tone of the second installment gets much more dark and the suspense has gotten way more chills than the first!

filme muito ruim! mds! filme sem pé nem cabeça! o queera o cara cavalgando numa cobra no deserto? Ridiculo

This first movie is part of my library, I was going to include this remake (barely) until the second part was released. The first part was not bad, but the flesh worshippers could not keep their hands off of the second part. Down with whitey, down with unionized male/female relationships, pumping estrogen into the male cast and testosterone into the female cast, totally throwing the actual story aside to replace the characters with characters straight out of 2Tim3 to further their agenda of destruction of innocence.

For me? Boring, so so boring i just couldnt finish it. After an hour in the cinema I went to watch something else. Its just not a gripping or very entertaining film. You may like it, i certainly didnt.

Best movie ever seen in my life definitely my favorite movie

“Dune: Part Two” is the definition of a sci-fi epic that improves upon the first film on every level. With its gorgeous cinematography, excellent sound design, Hans Zimmer’s epic score, and huge action set pieces, it is peak cinema. Every single member of the cast gives it their all, with the standouts being Timothée Chalamet and Austin Butler.

This movie was perfect in every way! Amazing cinematography and acting and most importantly improved on the first. Absolutely watch this movie!

I love the cinematic of the movie

This movie is way better than the first one. The first one felt very slow at times and this was the complete opposite.

Dune Part Two takes everything that worked about the original, adds a lot more action, and overall improves the entire formula. Cannot wait for the next film.

A really good sequel that improves upon the first movie. That's pretty rare these days.

Only Peter Jackson's LOTR exceeds the book adaption of Dune. That's the greatest praise I can give this exceptional movie. Like LOTR some great scenes were left out or altered but that can't be helped. A faithful rendering that is much appreciated.

Just as beautiful as the 1st quite possibly movie of year, it does not disappoint!

It's good but definitely overrated.

One of the best sci-fi action films of all time. IMAX made it 1000x better

One of the most beautiful movie I have ever seen.

Dune part one was boring and without any atmosphere. This changed in Part Two.

I am SO GLAD that I did NOT PAY to see this HORRIBLE & BORING Adaptation of Frank Herbert's Amazing Story. SEE the ORIGINAL it is SO MUCH BETTER & FULFILLING!

This one was so much better than the first one. I enjoyed the way they continued the story. While I wasn't a huge fan of the ending, I'm still looking forward to chapter 3, and I consider this sequel a true masterpiece.

Love this movie! Hopefully Dune 3 comes out soon!

One of the best sequels of all time.

Soooooooooo much better than Part 1. I loved it. It's surprisingly very close to the book. Highly recommended.

A must-watch in this lifetime at the cinema, "Dune: Part II." Definitely watch the first part beforehand, Otherwise, it will be quite confusing. Compared to the first part, this one is truly upgraded, The war scenes are more stunning, The landscapes of Dune are more beautiful, And the film score is even more melodious 🎶. These elements, plus the actors' performances, Make it difficult to find faults in this movie. The only thing is that the protagonist's thoughts at the end are truly puzzling 🤔. This time, I picked a great seat, Sat right by the speakers, The sound effects directly hit the eardrums. Plus, this time when buying the movie ticket, Received a set of super beautiful posters, Very much worth the price of admission. The whole series isn't over yet, Looking forward to the story of the third installment.

Good lord this was a perfect sequel to the first one. The emotion, the action, the story, it was all fantastic. I can’t wait to see what happens in part 3!

Absolutely great! Finally Brolin and Bardem take the lead to a wonderful movie. Great acting, stunning music and photography. Absolutely wonderful, one of the greatest Sci-fi of the century.

It is just a masterpiece seemless continuation of the first part. No rush, the story takes its time to reveal. Still astonished about the overall quality of the film.

Great film. I loved it and glad I saw it in theater!! Can’t wait for the third film!

89%. 9/27/24. Paul and his mom get integrated into the Fremen people. Some of the Fremn believe in a prophecy of a messiah and one guy believes Paul is him based off signs he's noticed. Paul steadily gains their trust and confidence until everyone believes he's the messiah. His mom, Jessica, also becomes the Reverend Mother which is the highest religious authority. Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen fighting in a gladiator style arena was awesome. We also learn Jessica is the daughter of Baron. Paul and the Fremen meet the Emperor when he arrives on Arakis and Paul duels with Fedy-Rautha and defeats him to take over as Emperor and aligns to marry the Emperor's daughter. Great action and fun watch. 3.5/5 rewatch

Leaves you wanting more!

It's a great adaptation that keeps improving. From the first instalment to this the task of portraying the desert wars and major transformations of characters were handled swiftly. One remarkable quality of the franchise so far are rich visuals that would put the audiences under it's spell instantly. Great audio that's as soothing as the desert winds. Enchanting performances by the cast full of talent. Flawless visual effects when it comes to picturing the desert's life forms and all other supernatural elements in Arrakis. Dune Part Two was very much anticipated and what's delivered to us was more than great.

I loved all the action and understanding of the movie

Chani turning on paul makes no sense, leaving the out Leto the third was a poor choice, Paul having his son die was what led him to choose his jihad. Chani should've been ok with the plan as Paul should be the head of jamis's family. I don't know how they do a third movie and even attempt to stay true to the books

A masterpiece of modern cinema and certainly one of the best films of the year that will sweep many awards!

neo colonial storyline and zendaya is playing second fiddle to Timothy who doesn't inspire even the most vanilla of crowds

Dune was awesome! Not much else to say. Story is told and portrayed fantastically. Great acting by everyone. If I had to find one negative, christopher Walken with the Jersey accent.

Denis Villeneuve absolutely delivers on the high expectations of this movie. It is visually stunning, the action is incredible, and the acting is stellar. The film truly feels grand in epic in ways that most blockbuster movies fail to do these days. This may very well be a sci-fi masterpiece.

Although this is a visually striking movie with good acting, I cannot look past how bad the rewrite of Herbert's story is. Chani becomes a petulant child and the Fremen are made into a divided primitive people which they were not. As a fan of the novels I thought Part 1 was good, part 2 took too many liberties for me to enjoy it. I was left disappointed.

It is one of my favourite movies of all times. I didn’t read the book yet but I’m reading it soon. It has awesome action, lore and characters. Its is visually the best movie I saw it was perfect for my standards not to fast or slow too. Is in my top 10 since I saw it.

Dark plot, visually stunning, and incredible sound and score - the best imax experience I’ve ever had…. Brilliant,

The fact that I found myself both supporting and opposing the main character certainly speaks to Chalamet's talents

Again Denis Villeneuve delivers. Dune: Part Two builds on the first part and exceeds expectations. I am beyond excited for what comes next and I cannot wait to see how this turns out. This series is one for the ages, mark my words.

If I could give this zero stars I would. Horrible.

This was a top-tier experience in IMAX

Pretty fun to watch 1 and 2 for the first times 24 hours apart - 2 clearly levels up. Epic, captivating, and honestly had my heart pounding. Every scene is gorgeous but the dialogue could still use a little work. Needs to be seen in theaters!! “Don’t ruin my nephew’s birthday”

Incredible cinematic photography with intense dialogue. I was disappointed in Chani’s character. She was back and forth. She wants her people to be free and to get back her land but she doesn’t want Paul to lead she wants Paul to fight but she wants him to follow her but then she is mad when he does. Do have concerns that the 3rd film will be in space and thus lose the amazing scenic views.

The story in “Dune: Part Two” picks up right where the first film left off. Though the two projects were filmed separately, there is a singular vision and story arc between them. Writer/Director, Denis Villeneuve, is becoming a true powerhouse in Sci-Fi cinema, with “Arrival” and “Blade Runner 2049” in his filmography. This movie is no different, as it is truly a remarkable achievement in filmmaking. Visually, this is one of the most gorgeous films that I have ever seen. There were multiple scenes that left me in awe, from the ambitious world-building and use of color. Similarly, the score by Hans Zimmer is compelling and mighty. The man composed the score for “The Lion King”, “Interstellar” and “Gladiator”, and this might be his best work. Pairing the visuals with the score makes this film feel larger than life, which makes Villeneuve’s attention to characters so significant. The character of Paul Atreides should be studied for years to come. His growth and development over these two films is beautifully executed, and the other characters are no different. As his eyes change color and he embraces his destiny, there is a confident maturity that transcends the screen. Timothee Chalamet puts forth the best performance of his career and many others, including Rebecca Ferguson (“Mission: Impossible - Fallout”) and Zendaya follow suit. This isn’t much of a negative, but the first film is a must-watch if you are going to enjoy and understand “Dune: Part II”. The story is full of complicated titles, planets, and prophecies. From the Bene Gesserit and the Lisan al Gaib to the Harkonnens, there is a lot to digest. Watching the first film with subtitles is almost a prerequisite. Masterpiece. That is the best word to describe the powerful achievement of “Dune: Part Two”. In every way, this movie builds on the first installment and feels larger than life. In my opinion, it is the best film released in the last five years (maybe even ten) and one of the most epic films I have seen on the big screen. If you have the chance, go to the theater to see it, you will not be disappointed. Best Character: Muad'Dib Best Quote: "Lead them to paradise" - Paul Best Scene: Riding the worm. Best Piece of Score: "Kiss the Ring" Note: I usually don't enjoy Javier Bardem's work, but he did great in this. Written for the Gunnison Gazette

We just saw Dune: Part Two in IMAX, and it was nothing short of breathtaking. Visually stunning, emotionally gripping, and expertly crafted, this might be one of the best movies we've ever seen. Plot & Characters: Timothée Chalamet shines as Paul Atreides, capturing his reluctant rise as a Messiah with depth and intensity. Zendaya’s Chani brings strength and skepticism to her role, complementing Paul perfectly. The supporting cast, especially Rebecca Ferguson as Lady Jessica, delivers strong performances, making the family dynamics and political tension feel real and intense. Visuals & Sound: The IMAX experience is a must. The desert landscapes, sandstorms, and the eerie sound of the sandworms were incredible. Every frame feels meticulously crafted, and the sound design is truly immersive. Pacing: Though slower than typical blockbusters, the deliberate pacing serves the story, focusing on character development rather than non-stop action. While some might find the middle slow, it adds necessary depth. Final Thoughts: Dune Part Two is more than a movie—it’s an epic experience. Smart, beautiful, and powerful, this is the sci-fi masterpiece I’ve been waiting for. As a die-hard Star Wars fan, this film hits the mark in ways the recent Star Wars films haven’t. Rating: 5/5 Galaxy Stars – A must-see, especially for sci-fi lovers.

Denis Villeneuve has outdone himself with Dune: Part Two, creating a cinematic experience that’s as grand as it is intimate, as powerful as it is nuanced. This film doesn’t just entertain; it transports, immerses, and overwhelms in the best possible way. Every colossal action scene and meticulously crafted set piece reverberates through the audience, grounding the vastness of this universe in an experience that feels almost tangible. Dune: Part Two isn’t just a film—it’s a journey that resonates deep within. Villeneuve strikes a remarkable balance between the epic and the personal, catering to both the sci-fi diehard and the discerning film lover. He embraces the inherent weirdness of Dune’s universe without tipping into absurdity, keeping the narrative razor-sharp and the characters compellingly real. Every motivation, every decision, feels rooted in the intense, often brutal world they inhabit. In a universe as strange as this, the authenticity Villeneuve achieves is nothing short of miraculous. The performances across the board are extraordinary, but Rebecca Ferguson stands out as the fierce Bene Gesserit, Lady Jessica. Her portrayal is haunting—she commands every scene with a chilling presence that oscillates between power and vulnerability, particularly in moments with her unborn daughter, Alia. Her performance lingers, casting an eerie yet entrancing shadow over the entire film. Javier Bardem brings an unexpected, yet much-needed balance to the heavy political and emotional stakes of the story. Expanding on his role from the first film, he brings gravitas alongside a surprising levity, grounding the narrative with moments that feel both genuine and refreshingly human. His presence adds a layer of warmth amid the film’s high-stakes intensity. In Dune: Part Two, Villeneuve has crafted a true masterpiece—a film that honors the grandeur of Frank Herbert’s universe while delving deeply into the personal stakes of its characters. This is the kind of epic that reminds us why we go to the movies. Bravo to Villeneuve and the entire cast and crew; this is nothing less than cinematic excellence.

Dune 2 is so much fun and MILES better than the first. Stunning cinematography and performances by various members of the cast had me fully invested into this universe and left me speeches. I'm looking forward to more stories told in this universe. What a masterpiece.

It is rare to find a movie, let alone a sequel, that doesn't miss at any level. This is one of those movies.

This movie was absolutely great! It’s rare for a sequel to capture the same feeling and quality of the original movie. This one definitely maintained did not disappoint!

Sencillamente buena. Esperamos la parte III

Denis Villeneuve le dio a la novela de Frank Herbert una segunda oportunidad en la gran pantalla y la primera parte de la adaptación resulto ser lo suficientemente convincente para continuar adaptando la otra mitad del libro. Esta segunda parte sigue el mismo ritmo de la película anterior, pero el acierto de esta adaptación fue darle más desarrollo a la historia y tomarse el tiempo de contarla. Cuando David Lynch realizo su adaptación de Dune, los recortes y las modificaciones hicieron que la historia avanzara más rápido, pero que también se perdiera bastante que pudiera hacer la película más comprensible. Villeneuve prefirió tomarse el tiempo de narrar la historia para que no se perdiera cualquier cosa que pudiera ser importante. A diferencia de la versión de Lynch, aquí hay más desarrollo en la convivencia de Paul y su madre con los Fremen. Se llega a conocer un poco más esta sociedad y sus creencias. La película se orienta bastante hacia parte mística de la obra de Herbert y eso hace que llegue a ser algo pesada. En ese aspecto hace falta conocer un poco o tener al menos una idea de la mitología de Dune en las novelas. Hay una evolución en Paul al ver como se va convirtiendo en el mesías de la profecía. Feyd es presentado como un sociopata que es en medida mejor a su contraparte anterior interpretada por Sting. Aquí Feyd es un vivo reflejo de la maldad de los Harkonnen. Al igual que la primera parte, el fuerte de esta película es su apartado visual. El coliseo de los Harkonnen es una escena impresionante al ser bastante monocromática. Eso la aparta bastante del resto de la película. Realmente no existen muchas palabras para expresar el cuidadoso trabajo que Villeneuve hizo al adaptar la novela original. Es una película bien cuidada hecha con bastante prolijidad. La verdad es innegable que Dune: Part Two es una gran película a nivel cinematográfico. Mi calificación final para esta película es un 9/10.

I was very excited to see this, and it did not disappoint. wonderful casting, sets, and story. Obviously, they dumped or changed important things from the book. That said, still a great flick.

Just go and watch even better than avatar series . 👌

You know, part one was pretty good and faithful to the book. But part two rivals the 1984 Dune in tacky schlockiness without the endearing kitsch quality. And it seems to have a bad case of peterjacksonitis, where the screenplay folks actually thought they could tell a story better than the book's author...actually even tell a better story because making Chani a churlish witch is a poor rendition of the actual dynamic, altering the Kwisatz Haderach ordeal made it truly uninspiring, and weakening Irulan and the Emperor's part gave Paul's ascendance no real foil or gravitas. And Sting was just a far better Feyd Rautha.

Absolutely mind blowing... the beautiful desolate (not dead!) scenery of Arrakhis, the character development, the plot, the confrontation... that was the book as I pictured it. Just like LOTR movies the Dune movie nailed it. I was a fan when I read the book 30 or so years ago and these movies just hit it all spot on. After watching it I felt like watching it again, no breaks. Looking very much forward to part 3.

Dune Part 2 picks up where the last one left off, with young Paul Atreidis and his Bene Gesserit mother, Lady Jessica, enmeshing themselves with the desert fremen of Arrakis. The psychotically evil Harkonnens have slaughtered most (but not quite all) of House Atreidis on the spice-laden planet. The grotesque, oil-bathing Baron has plenty of slaughtering to dole out in order to get Arrakis' spice production back on line. Which apparently needs to happen. Because, apparently, there's an emperor breathing down his neck. Or something. The movie's plot, much like the novel's, is a little dense (think "Star Wars," if it had been written by George R.R. Martin). Meanwhile, Paul's psychic powers are developing quickly. Thanks to his mother's machinations, and the psychedelic spice he's inhaling constantly, and some friendly fremen (including a love interest, Chani), he'll transform from a pale, brooding twenty-something boy into a pale, brooding twenty-something Messianic revolutionary. Who leads a guerilla army. And rides giant sand worms. The action moves from desert scene to desert scene, all of which pretty much look the same. There's battles, big and small. And did I mentioned giant sand worms? Dune Part 2 is a gorgeous piece of desert cinema. Like the Shari-Hulud, the action swallows you whole. And if you're a fan of the novel, it stays pretty darned true to Frank Herbert's story line. All the political intrigue, and futuristic contrivance, and vaguely Arabic-sounding nomenclature is there. But while, overall, Dune Part 2 is an improvement from the first installment, it still suffers from many of the same flaws. With the notable exception of the amazing Javier Bardem, the acting's still flat. Timothee Chalamet has added a dimension to the one-dimensional mope of Part 1--now, he yells sometimes. Which I suppose is an improvement. Despite all the spice, there is no chemistry--none, nada--between him and Zendaya, playing Chani. The "goods" are all fungibly reluctant iron-willed heroes; the "baddies" are all the same irredeemably awful psychopaths. Paul and Chani get moved along from place to place, set piece to set piece, fight to fight, like marionettes on strings. So does the plot, come to think of it, but that's more of a shortcoming with the novel. What's not Herbert's fault is the movie's script. Like the first Dune, the dialogue is utterly banal. Seriously, I've read comic books that had more penetrating conversations. The musical score is serviceable, but, as with the last movie, it revolves around one harmonic minor strain, sung over and over and over and over ... The sand worms sounded more dynamic. But what are you seeing this movie for? You're not buying a ticket to Dune Part 2 for deep introspection or romance or masterful story-telling. Of course not. But if you want breathtaking special effects and heart-stopping knife fights (there's a lot of those) and giant freaking sand worms, you will not be disappointed. I certainly wasn't.

Dune: Part 2 is a brilliant masterpiece of cinema. Denis Villeneuve has created an immersive, rich Epic that rivals the accomplishment of its predecessor. The film has stunning performances of a lifetime from each member of the cast, and a beautifully written script, Dune: Part 2 grabs you by the imagination and the soul and never lets go. The cinematography is absolutely breathtaking. For instance, the dark, ominous introduction of Austin Butler's Feyd-Rautha, with monotone lighting. Everything about this scene makes you feel uneasy and uncertain. We become emotionally invested in Florence Pugh's gentle yet powerful Princess Irulan with her father, the Emperor played by Christopher Walken, while she sits with him in the palace gardens. Every moment played out expertly by those behind and in front of the camera, making each frame impactful and robust. The action was perfectly balanced with the drama and superbly choreographed. Timothee Chalamet ( Paul Atreides), Josh Brolin (Gurney Halleck), Austin Butler (Feyd-Rautha), Zendaya (Chani), and Dave Bautista (Glossu Robban) are riveting and impressive in their fights and action sequences and deserve credit for the obvious work they put into the physicality of their roles as well the characters themselves. Javier Bardem has given us opus in his portrayal as the Fremen leader, Stilgar. Stalwart, intimidating, but deeply spiritual and devoted to his people and beliefs. Barden’s performance is nothing short of Oscar worthy. The soundtrack transports you every bit as the visuals on the screen. There wasn’t one aspect to this film that wasn’t given undiluted attention to detail. You feel every frame, and you can't turn away. I cannot overstate how much I enjoyed the experience of Dune: Part 2. I cannot recommend it enough. Stop reading this and go buy a ticket now!

As a food delivery worker in China, I work for twelve hours a day. Yet, I still managed to watch the entire series by setting aside an hour and a half each day. Aside from certain elements like the "Messiah" and "Holy Mother" themes, which I didn't enjoy, everything else about the movie was great. The reason I didn't like those parts is because I am a Christian.

Amazing cinematography. Great atmosphere and cast. But a little boring at times, movie could have been 30 minutes shorter. It feels like a extended directors cut at times.

Buena narracion, tranquila, explocando todo en detalle, mo se hace pesada para su duracion

A decent if somewhat boring sci fi movie. It's all a bit souless, drab and depressing and the story doesn't contain any likeable characters. I really couldn't care less about any of them. At least it has some engaging visual moments. Unfortunately it also features another stabbing scene of a woman for no apparent reason. There genuinely seems to be something wrong on a psychological level with modern movie directors and viewers. They can't make a movie now without some defenceless man or woman getting stabbed repeatedly in the gut. It's becoming a highly concerning trend in film/TV making and the fact that that this was rated a 12 is even more disturbing. All I'm all its not a movie ill come back too or even remember.

Absolutely one of the best movies ever made. Cinematic Masterpiece.

There's little about this movie I didn't like. The storyline, , the directing, the acting, the cinematography. This movie is a must see, and I have to admit I liked it even more the second time I saw it. Highly recommend on all fronts.

Beautiful movie! So glad to see a director do justice to the scale of the books.

As a fan of the original Dune movies I find the reboot surprisingly good. I was excited for part two to release after the excitement of part one. The plot was great and the character development felt genuine. My only complaint is that character reactions sometimes seemed illogical and could have been vetted a little better.

A masterpiece. One of the best adaptations ever, like Lord of The Rings. If you like fantasy, si-ci, epicness, etc... it's an easy must watch. Dune is the godfather of many things that you, me and many others enjoy in Star Wars, Warhammer, etc., and what Villeneuve (the Director) is doing here with these new movies is just amazing. I'm curious to see what he'll do with the next parts, since the books go wild after a short while.

Doesn't quite match the heights of Part One but still epic. Terrific cinema.

It’s Normally not possible for a part II to beat out the first movie, it’s amazing, what a cool action and love story hidden beneath the sands, I can’t believe how good it was and it’s impossible to give this less than a A- Zendaya is a amazing actress, Timothy is finally a man. I can’t say enough.

No story line, boring, left early, just not good.

a cinematographically masterclass! this movie had it all: a more interesting story than its predecessor, new characters that challenge the old in very defying yet engaging ways, a superb cast, an even superb score, but what really does it for me its the costumes and sets!!! the scenery is really precious in this one. from now on, dune will be considered by me as a mix of game of thrones and star wars, because there’s no better way to describe how incredible this one hits. religious conflicts, power, treason and the liberation of a planet. this one was just in another level of cinematography!!

A masterpiece of cinema and a movie that will define this generation.

Part Two of the Dune Saga is well written, well acted and looks good. While I prefer part one, part two does expand the story with new characters gives them time to shine though some like Florence Pugh are underused in service of the story. Entertaining and very watchable even if you're not too familiar with the mythology.

Such a fantastic script, well written and directed! Seen it first time at cineva in February 2024 and now seen it again! This deserves a part 3 and 4.

Is just perfect, Denis Villenueve Is a god

Wow! Dune Part 3 please..!

Over time i can definitely see myself giving this a 5/5 but right now its a solid 4.5/5 Cinematography, score, dialog everything is just top tier. I do slightly prefer Challengers though

While the narrative pacing occasionally oscillates between brisk and lingering, such moments do little to detract from the film's overall impact. Dune: Part Two is a monumental achievement, navigating the enormity of Herbert's universe with a deftness that perhaps only Villeneuve could offer. Despite any minor editorial quibbles, the film emerges as a near-masterpiece, with its compelling storyline, rich character arcs, and stunning cinematography setting a high bar. This sequel not only secures its place as a triumphant adaptation of Herbert's work but also establishes itself as a beacon of cinematic excellence, rivaling the acclaim typically reserved for blockbuster giants. With Dune: Part Two now etching its success into the annals of film history, anticipation builds for how Dune: Messiah will continue this storied saga. As it stands, early in 2024, Dune: Part Two reigns supreme as my favorite film of the year so far, a benchmark of artistic and narrative ambition in contemporary cinema.

Great movie! I found the first film a bit slow, but I understand it needed to set up the plot. However, this second movie is a huge step up. The story really hits its stride, and the introduction of more intriguing characters makes it even better. As a whole, I think this movie is a masterpiece. I can’t wait to see the third one!

Perfect part 2. Probably going to be the best movie of the year.

Does a great job on improving from the first dune movie, it has great characters and the music was intense 10/10

Absolute farce. The awful plot is only rivalled by worse writing and even worse acting. From a completely ridiculous and unbelievable storyline to shoddy lighting and horrendously unbelievable perforamances, this is a film to skip.

I wish I could just keep watching this for the first time, everytime. It's incredible. And how is the special effects just so. much. better. than another other films out there at the moment? That's what really sets Dune apart - a total feast for the eyes.

Great visual effects and casting make okay-ish story enjoyable

While this movie should be applauded for its commitment to spectacle and effects, the character-building is where it falls short. For a movie series that has already ran on for over five hours, I still felt only a shallow understanding of the main characters, who spend too much of their time having muted conversations that are set up to be too momentous. Still, it's great to see a filmmaker still aiming for "epic," and there's no better word to describe the Dune franchise thus far.

beyond speechless and jaw dropping.

My favourite movie of all time

Absolutely one of the best movies ever made. Cinematic Masterpiece.

Very enjoyable. Much better than the original Dune movie from 1984.

Manages to be one of the few sequels that tops the original

LOVE LOVE LOVE such a great sequel to another great movie

Too long, too slow, constant annoying noise, even when nothing is happening and much of the dialog is gibberish. It's hard to see why so many people liked it.

People were paid to say this is one of the best movies ever. It’s so boring

Worst movie I've seen at the cinema. Timothy acted ok, but his love interest cannot act at all. Awful casting. Countless individual trailer scenes do not make a film. First film was quite good, but I was falling asleep and couldn't wait to leave with this one.

Great film. THIS is cinema. Hats off to Villeneuve’s brilliant adaptation. A Masterpiece of Science Fiction.

worst and most boring movie i've ever watched. visually attractive but extremely boring, feels like a star wars knockoff. I was falling asleep the whole movie due to the lack of action , what a waste of time

first one was better

Visually beautiful and mostly works. It is a bit overblown and drags at times but there is a lot to get through.

This movie is one of the best movies to ever experience on the big screen. It is visually stunning, the acting is incredible, and the soundtrack is moving. I think this movie is a masterclass on how a director’s clear vision of a movie can create a visual masterpiece.

Very nice movies ☺️☺️

It extended the universe set on the first film and brought some necessary action to the plot. If you survived the slowness of the first, this is the payback time

A legendary movie, great director, wonderful cast. Dune & Dune part 2..., what an experience!!!! I can't wait for the 3rd.

The worst movie ever. I don't know why there are special effects in this movie. With all the sand and dust you can't see anything. They filme close shots and even then you can't see anything because of th dust. There are too many characters. They build then and then they do things that don't match with their profile. It is the worst.

Best movie ever made

Meh....Ok, I'm not the target audience....I didn't read the books. I get what they were trying, but I thought it was a yawner. I couldn't get into the books either. I like science fiction generally, but this is a bridge too far for me.

Brilliance. An absolute must see.

From incredible performances by the cast, to some of the greatest effects in modern cinema, Dune 2 is the best type of sequel—one that arguably knocks its predecessor off its feet. Watching Paul Atreides develop into a sci-fi & fantasy protagonist comparable to Star Wars’s Anakin Skywalker or Lord of the Rings’s Frodo Baggins, was sensational. While the movie does run on the longer end of films, it is difficult to notice during one’s first watch considering how easy it is to be engrossed with the world of Frank Herbert’s Dune.

At first I was thinking it wouldn’t live up to the hype, but after an hour I was glued to my seat. The sound alone was worth the theater ticket. Aggressively looking forward to the sequel.

Excelent movie for perfect weekend.

Epic! Loved it much more than the first one!!

The best movie I’ve experienced in theaters, just mesmerizing!

I mean this has to be the most perfect sequel ever. I can't wait for the third movie to come out!

A mí en general me costaron trabajo las dos películas de Dune, en retrospectiva me gustaron, pero son ciertamente complicadas de ver. Para mí la historia se la llevan los personajes de Chalamet, de Rebecca Ferguson y los gusanos del desierto.

Slow, steady, and with exponentially better pacing than its predecessor, Dune: Part Two acts as an outstanding second chapter in the Dune cinematic canon.

great production, goes off course from what what Hebert wrote. still good despite that. main protagonist could've been casted better imo.

This movie was very well done. The story picks up right after Part One and it builds off of what was started. I definitely think splitting the book into two movies was a great choice because it gave us much needed back story to what is happening. I loved the visuals and scenery of it all. They paid close attention to details and it really showed. All the actors actresses brought great energy to their roles. It was also great to see Zendaya and Dave Bautista’s roles being expanded. They both were stand outs in an already amazing cast list. The runtime was a little long in my opinion and I think a bit of trimming could have made it better, but that was my only real issue.

This film is spectacular on so many levels. The cinematography is perfection, the acting is fantastic and passionate, the script is well written, the whole thing just exudes intelligence and devotion to the project. It's one of my favourite's now and I've already seen it multiple times. Just exquisite, a total masterpiece. It's a turning point for cinema, I'm sure. Works of art like this are just the best.

I Just Love How The Ending Of Part 2 Happened Coz I Had So Many Expectations But Still Great Work To The Whole Crew...We Need More Of These Masterpiece👌🏾

A cinematic finale to this brilliant adaptation

A good movie, just not one I'd watch again. Had to re-read about the original to remember who all the characters are. 1984 version is still my favorite.

What a cinematic experience for a deeper exploration on the Dune universe. The execution for the entire movie is all out breathtaking for a Sci-Fi experience

I'd really like to give this movie more stars, but I can't. Okay, caveats first: I read the Dune books like some people read Lord of the Rings (i.e. pretty much annually, for the last 25-30 years!) To say I am a fan of Frank Herbert's story undersells it. I have also seen Dune: pt.1 more times than is strictly necessary - I love the movie, I get a buzz from watching it: it hits all the right notes, and leaves me wanting more without fail. Which is why I find Part 2 so frustrating. Having watched it 3 times now, I can honestly say that the level of care and attention that's gone into its creation is amazing: it's absolutely jam-packed with excellent movie craft - the set design is stellar, the makeup and costume fantastic, the sound design spot on, and (most) of the music suited to the majestic epicness. The set-pieces are brilliant, and everyone is clearly pulling in the same direction... and yet... and yet... For me it all adds up to less than the sum of its parts, while taking a Very Long Time to do so. Which is a damned shame, because after Dune: pt.1 I *really* wanted this to be a successful landing. Partly it's the editing - there's acres of time taken to really make sure certain shots, or actor's expressions, are emblazoned on your retinas; all of which kills the pace. There's a couple of music cues that just hit wrong (the big moment when Chani slaps Paul and then storms out, after waking him from his experience with the Water of Life leaps to mind - it actually made me sort of snort with laughter in the cinema, which I'm fairly certain wasn't the intent). I watched it in cinema and again when I bought the BluRay, and every time I sort of stop caring after Feyd-Rautha's arena fight & Paul's worm ride, and then sort of rouse a bit when the emperor lands on Arrakis and the worms come and wreak havoc, before nodding off again to the (unsatisfactory) ending. It's not a bad film, by any stretch of the imagination - as with part one, you can dive deep into any of your preferred branches of film making and see pure excellence. But something about it just misses for me. Maybe its some of the choices (both in plot/character, as well as broader cinematic editing) maybe it's just that it's not just long - it really *feels* long. I can't help but feel that any movie with those components should be "blow you back in your seat amazing", rather than "meh". So... yeah, I'm a bit disappointed really.

hell yes, it was very good

This film is a masterpiece that captivates from start to finish. With its gripping storyline, stunning visuals, and stellar performances, it keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout. The direction is flawless, seamlessly blending action, emotion, and intrigue. I can't wait to see what is in store for this series

Visually stunning and narratively epic!

The payoff we deserved

Visually incredible, sound design and sound track amazing! Some outstanding performances. The butcher job of the story at the end is unforgivable.

So close to the book. Only the Chani character felt so forced so I fast forwarded every dialog scene with her

Such a good movie right up until the end where they trip over the last scene and ruin everything that had up until that point. Christopher Walken could have been replaced with a cardboard cutout and nobody would notice. Princess Irulian was absolutely dreadful, no poise, no grace, spoke like they just grabbed the first random person hanging around the set to read lines. Is Zendyas entire point in movies to just be unpleasant? Paul, Gurney, Stilgar, and the Harkonnens, magnificent performances. I don't think there could have been a worse way to end that movie, the final scene was a crime against humanity

Good movie. Not as good as one though. They villainized Paul too much by the end and they should of left Feyd-Rautha alive, he had more potential.

Es para disfrutarla en el cine , hay ratos que sientes que se hace muy larga , personas en la sala dormían a mitad. Pero el ambiente , lo visual que es maravilloso , actuaciones, repertorio musical lo hace una película recomendable y buena.

Found this movie wonderful and intriguing for someone who's not a fan of sci-fi. I didn't know the novel either. I'm so glad to find this masterpiece. This was even better than the first. ❤️ I went and saw this movie twice in one week.

Hands down amazing cast amazing graphics just amazing!

exceptionally a great movie, just like the book!

a really well made film, not my favorite but i def enjoyed elements and the dark and deep storytelling

Visually striking and a really good film. The casting is superb and a strong sequel to the original.

Boring, boring, boring...

Almost perfect piece of an art. And perfection doesn’t exists.

Best sci-fi movie for 2024. The outstanding sequel even you didn’t watch DUNE Part1 before. Waiting for the next sequel.

It was sooooooo good, I left the theatre with sand in my shoes.

Timothee Shaltmain 2 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

While not being a total 5 stars. This film is definitely worth your time in the surreal mind of Denis Villenvue. The cast is jam-packed with A tier and some S tier actors who truly show why they are famous with blowing acting worthy of numerous academy awards. While I believe that it may have competition with the upcoming Gladiator 2, let’s address the elephant in the room; the Cinematography and Visual effects are the best we will see in quite some time, I always respect great films but I worship those who look good doing it. the film manages to introduce new aspects not talked about in part one while not wasting anytime, I believe the action was interesting (I’ve watched too much John Wick, so fight scenes look weird when it’s not martial arts) and the climax is amazing. Although it is a film still left unfinished for the final instalment. Finally, Get Timothee Chalamet that Oscar!!!

This is an example of an epic piece of writing making today's writers seem like kindergarten students. This was a brilliant adaptation and so far only tells the first story of the six original books. It didn't so much restore my faith in modern film making as shine as an example of what can be made with a good script. There's a good reason why all the best sci Fi comes from writing done in the 50's to the 80's. There really doesn't appear to be much original thought left.

The worst part is it ended. I wanted it to keep going. Now we have to wait.

I adore the first Dune movie and its sequel is even better. It is an absolute masterpiece. Timothée Chalamet and Austin Butler deserves an oscar for their performance in this film. This is a movie that cemented itself as one of the greatest movie sequels of all time. I think that this is the best movie ever created. 10/10.

As a long time Dune fan this is as good as it can get. I didn't think Timothy Chalamet could carry it off when I saw the casting for Pt 1 but he does it excellently. Roll on Pt 3

watched it twice in cinema, what a movie!

Best movie of the Year!

Near perfect sequel and will remain a classic for the next generations to enjoy.

Boring! As much as the first movie was visually stunning, logical, paced in the right way with suspension and action, the second part is naive, with long shots of tribal lives bringing no sense and no meaning for the plot. I tried to watch the movie twice, each time turning off ipad out off boredom and cliches…somebody watched too much of Lawrence of Arabia but did not watch is carefully. The simplistic scene of Paul riding a sand-worm the first time made me laugh and cry- Ed Wood lives forever!What happened? A good movie with great actors turned into mediocre movie with mediocre actors. It is a pity.

Dune 2 certainly does not disappoint. The casting, writing/adaptation and CGI are so good. I didn’t realize it was such a long movie. The time flew by. Definitely stayed true to the book.

The last hour of this film is some of the greatest cinema ever. e v e r.

Bloated and self important. There was good acting from most of the cast and beautiful cinematography but it needed serious editing.

The film showcases stunning beauty, from the exceptional cast to the captivating scenery. If I were to recommend one movie above all, it would be this extraordinary piece. In a single word, this film can only be described as a "masterpiece."

Almost the perfect movie

Alright , Dune : Part two is one of the better sequels of Legendary Pictures , i thought this movie is somewhat mediocre , but yeah it's kinda' mediocre but better than the first one. And this movie is also almost hit a billion dollars which explains that this movie is a hit , and the score is also hit hard. 9/10

excellent movie, good adaptation to the book

Dune 2 takes everything to a whole new level. The book series is epic and this adaptation matches that epicness. I never thought that lord of the rings could ever be done justice and yet they knocked it out of the park. The director paints a masterpiece with the attention to detail from the books. The visuals are matched only by the haunting score. I think that the is more that could have been described as to what the bene gesserit are and their purpose in the galaxy. I can't wait for the 3rd instalment. I hope that some one commission's some anime short stories from the dune universe would be spectacular.

Enjoyed this much more than the second one, the foreshadowing is on point, the main mom is a badass. Battle worms are so overpowered, and the cinematography for those scenes puts it at 5 stars for me on their own. Despite not liking Timothee Chalamet or Zendaya I think they did a much better job at being convincing in their roles in this film. The tension in the battles was better, and I was much more invested in the story. I'm a bit upset with how the main romance resolved, but I didn't have much interest in it anyways. Overall definitely recommend, the plot feels like its a book (because it is) but in the BEST way. I am cautiously excited to see part 3.

Highly overrated and just flat out cheesy at times, but still altogether not bad.

Why do they make films that are not only entirely predictable from the very start but rehash the worn out tropes of other movies? It is no coincidence that so many Dune 2 reviews are comparative of other movies. Worse, this movie is laughably unrealistic - mass sword fights in a world of atomics? Great SFX but a boring and unimaginative movie nonetheless.

sin palabras esta película es una de las mejores no del año sino de la ultima década

Part Two felt palatably longer, but it was so admirably done that you couldn't get sick of the film. I'm genuinely interested in the character developments. It's not a simple-minded escapist action flick, although it revels in plot turns and twists to be released.

Such a beautiful movie cinematic is perfect for me it's kinda like mummy n star wars but i loved it

Dune part two is as good as a sequel can get. The universe is expanded, the acting and writing is elevated, and the story hits some amazing peaks. I am worried how modern audiences will react to what’s to come in the rest of the Dune franchise, but for now Dune has taken over as the franchise of the 2020’s

What a mess. Apparently no one who acted in this read the books, and the writers decided that they were going to just ignore large crucial parts of the story that made it such a compelling epic. The Bene-Gesserit witches are barely mentioned, the abilities and importance of Paul's sister are ignored, the fight with Feyd Rautha is an absolute joke, and completely ignores Paul's supernatural abilities. This is not the Dune story, it is a torn-apart retelling of it with half the vital components removed, shot with horrible lighting and actors with depression and molasses in their veins.

I thought this movie was okay, but still a little long. Also left Alia out of the movie. Not happy about that.

Overrated and very boring.

Denis Villeneuve has once again demonstrated his mastery in creating an immersive, visually captivating world that left me utterly mesmerized.

Great movie!, better than the first one. Zendaya kills it as always

The best movie to come out in a while.

Fantasticly filmed and acted and the over all vibe was very original for a syfy. Most definitely worth a watch. All that said, with the huge hype around it, I do think its a pinch ofer rated, with the storyline not exactly ground breaking.

Part Two is superior over Part One, but somehow it makes Part One even better!

As before, visually stunning. Wooden one note acting except Zendaya can actually act. Timothee is petulant as before. Screaming is not acting. Too many differences from the books. Why do directors feel they can take a classic and change things? They only make it worse. Maybe they should call it "Doone". Bautista is one if the tip 5 worst "actors" around. Stop casting him. He is painful to watch. Also why don't they ever mention why spice is so important? It is the driving force. Nothing like the books. Everytime l see it I like it less. The director thinks he is David Lean. He is not.

I felt that there were too many points of the story that were skipped over that, in my opinion, were essential to the understanding and development of the characters and the entire story line. My husband and I watched it together. I had seen the previous version and read the books. He had not. By the middle of the movie he was asking questions and wondered why and how the story seemed to jump. We had to pause the movie so that I could explain the points that were left out or cut out. I just can't recommend this movie simply because of the writing of it and the liberties taken with the storyline. The actors, the on the other hand, executed their characters very well. Looking at the acting itself and the effects of the movie, it was very well done. The retelling and script of it... Not so much.

Dune Part Two is a masterpiece! This is Denis Villeneuve’s magnum opus! Visually stunning, talented actors, and the world building is credible. The soundtrack is great!

I started reading the books after this! Phenomenal adaptation of the characters from the book! I cannot wait for the third movie to see how they finish the series! By far the best movie of the year!!

Some of the most spectacular visual imagery ever produced in film.

I stopped watching 30 minutes in. same problems as part 1: slow, tedious, and lead actors who aren't up to the task and have no chemistry at all.

It wasn't a big a struggle as the first one. Keep it short.

Dune: Part Two is quite the feat. It's patient, thoughtful and well-acted. It's also a technical masterpiece, with some breathtaking visuals and impeccable sound design. However, with a near three hour runtime, it does suffer from some questionable pacing, and its finale comes off as slightly rushed and confusing if you don't pay attention, as well as assuming viewers are well-versed in the lore.

I struggled to come up with a rating for this film. On the one hand, I loved the experience of watching the film itself, and felt the execution was marvelous from an acting, directing and cinematography perspective. On the other hand, there were pacing issues and deviations from the books that I felt were subtractive to the narrative and feeling of the films. The very ending left me quite concerned for the direction of the next film. Overall, I still gave it very high marks because I want to recognize and encourage the type of film-making done here. Risks were taken with challenging subject material, and I felt the film overall leaned into some of the more fascinating and cerebral elements of the books.

It's a masterpiece... Period.

What a great way to continue the story of the first dune movie just more action better dialogue and much more this movie was near perfect. Definitely recommend it.

I watched the second movie on the reviews. This is way worse than the 1st one, which itself was quite bad - I was expecting it to redeem itself after the awful plot and terrible acting of the first film. What a terrible representation of Frank Herbert's book. But no it was just a huge yawnfest. Yet again there wasnt a proper ending - Dune Part 3 being made that will no doubt appeal to many but thats one I definitely wont be watching this time! Save a few hours of your life and avoid

Make this in three steps: 1. Take all the stuff that worked in the last movie and do it again. 2. Take all the stuff that was a bit too weird or indulgent from the last movie and do that again. 3. Craft a satisfying second half of a first part of a story that still has a lot to tell. Nice! You’ve made a great movie for serious sci fi fans, but it’s still to slow and dense for most general audiences.

Loved the first film. The second part was so boring by comparison. It also had odd cuts and apparent (short) time jumps that weren’t identified which led to some brief confusion. We stopped halfway because it was too much randomness to sit through in one sitting. Maybe I’ll finish the other half soon but probably not.

With the unbelievable score by Hans Zimmerman and captivating story reimagine unbelievable visuals and VFX, stellar cast and unbelievable direction by the director. It is a movie for all time

The story telling like in the 1st part is the biggest plus but lost in last moments while the the war sequence gets engaged

Perfect in every sense of the word.

Movie of the year, without question.

What an absolute waste of time! Boring as hell, drug out and confusing, and still don’t know what the hell is going on!

So much better than the first movie

Epic and grand although not my favourite story ever. I know it's an adaptation so they are semi limited in what they can change without annoying too many people. Given the current state of Hollywood this is easily one of the better movies you are going to see.

This movie is nearly 3 hours long, and somehow it leaves you wanting more. The planet of Arrakis is a horrible place, but somehow you don’t want to leave it. Once again, all of the actors are bringing their A game. We are given a visual treat, the CGI, the practical effects, all of it work in tandem beautifully. The fight scenes are beautifully choreographed, the sandworms are truly frightening. The only weak spot was Christopher Walken as the Emperor. This movie heightens the intensity and you understand Paul’s motivations. Another beautiful job by Denis Villeneuve.

A lackluster letdown. Too many missing bits. Sad to say I believe the original release was much better than this version

What’s there to say other than perfect ! Please let there be a part 3 !

A sci-fi epic, cinematic masterpiece filled with jaw-dropping visuals and brilliant acting. Came out of the movie screaming Lisan Al-Gaib

Absolutely a Masterpiece. This movie is a phenomenon. Disney take notes you are dead this is the way.

great visual experience, unfortunately for me way to big deviation from the book

No "masterpiece", it's okay but the first one was way better!!

An amazing theatre experience, especially in IMAX. Timothee and Zendaya are great and Austin Butler shines as Feyd Rautha. The entire cast is amazing. See it on the biggest screen possible!!

Really good! Visually stunning!

A great re-telling of the sci-fi classic. And with some nice twists not found in the novel. Visually compelling.

this movie was so good the whole theater was vibrating

The Dune movies, especially Dune Part 2, has an amazing cast, characters, and visuals. Combined with great storylines and storytelling the movie should be great. But Dune Part 2 struggles with the same problems as the first movie, worse. It has even slower and sluggish pacing and is poor in character development. It focuses to much on flair and style and not enough on material, substance, and story.

Let’s look at this movie without considering the book… was it great? You bet it was.. I went and watched it 2 times in the theatre: IMax off course. Score, sounds, actors and script.. all top notch.

This movie was absolutely stunning, The visual effects, the acting, the writing. Everything works in this movie and creates the perfect combination of Action, Mistery and Intrigue. This movie stand right here, right now a new Era (and possibly a new sign for Hollywood) for sci-fi movies. Hope to see a third movie of this calibre.

Amazing! These movies got me into reading the books. Free from all the Hollywood bullcrap!

I think I'm Lisan al gaib

If part one was a slow burn with epic moments and visuals, part 2 is a confusing, fragmented slog fest to the finale. I had a difficult time connecting with the characters and the story.

Filmen var onödigt lång och trasslade in sig i berättelsen om de härskande klanerna. Den handlar lika mycket om vår världs sorliga historia, med grymma krig och narkotikamissbruk. Det är intressant att ökenfolket hade en tro som efterliknade islam.

If disappointment smelt like beans this movie would F***ing stink.

Beautiful visuals, composition and overall direction. At some points it seemed the movie was cutting from the action and I lost bits of information where I was expecting to get some, but these aren't a big deal.

worth the hype! Spectacular, I must say

Movie switched from hard sci fi of the first part to an action blockbuster in the second in the process losing the beautiful world building of the first movie. It's dominated by action set pieces which are quite great tho (worm riding scene, harkkonen arena). Chalamet and Ferguson are great, so is Butler as the villain. Zendaya still doesn't really work for me, but there is improvement from the first movie.

I don’t even have to say anything. It’s a masterpiece.

While the film is visually pleasing, the changes to the story from the book take the story in a different direction. One that I don't feel makes it better.

This is art, tehere is no other word to describe it, the VF are amazing, the combat scenes, etc. This is the best 2024 movie so far.

I was worried about Timothy’s Paul becoming Maudib, but he nailed it. Amazing movie!

Dune1 was beautiful, cinematic with a great base of world building. Dune 2 was the payoff. It’s really an awesome 5 hour movie. The universe is rich, the characters so believable, the story so grand, sad and inspiring all at once. Definately a must see!

I hate to be *that guy*, but THIS is what cinema is lol

An improvement over the already great part 1. I'm a fan of the books and even the 84 film which has its own charms, not least of which David Lynch and the crazy performances he brings out of his actors. There's some really great world building on display here from the first few minutes, up to the shift to Geidi Prime up to the finale. There have been changes to the narrative somewhat; mostly to Channi, which totally changes her character...probably made sense on paper but is too comabtative for a sequel to work properly without massively straying from the source material (no spoilers but it's relation to how supportive she is). Great performances, production design and storytelling on display here. If you're a fan of sci-fi and have not seen this (or part 1), treat yourself to a back to back viewing, it's definitely worth it!

While I can nitpick on aspects of this adaptation bringing Frank Herbert's novel to the big screen again (I myself think the 2000 SyFy miniseries version is the truest and most articulate adaptation from a storytelling perspective), I am so very impressed and grateful that the director and screenwriters stuck the landing on this in two movies. Excellent! Very well done and kudos to all involved. Visually stunning, with great casting all around and memorable standout performances by several. I honestly was not expecting Chalomet to portray Paul credibly in his Muad'Dib phase of the story, but he definitely sold it for me.

I guess it’s one of those times where it doesn’t pay to be a huge fan of the novels (excluding anything by the hack son). This movie was fairly terrible and I had a hard time keeping my eyes open. They completely borked Chani and stole several of Paul’s moments and gave them to other characters. The most faithful adaptation to date is the SYFY series which is much more enjoyable. I will say the film is very pretty, if that’s all you care about.

Pretty good movie. I was really tired when I got to watch it so I was fighting to stay awake. Only downside is Zendaya, she’s a bad actress, not good looking and really breaks the immersion with her poor acting.

In the last few years. This was a movie I watched in the theatre and time vanishes. The storytelling, visuals, music, acting was all 5 star.

I liked the first one more, this one felt....off. Still watchable though.

It just wasn't for me!

This is a master class in Sci-Fi adaptation. Every change from the source material made sense and often improved the story as presented in the film. Denis adds another impressive work to his portfolio.

Dune 1 & 2 are just an enjoyable and awesome viewing experience. More movies like this are needed to save the box office and keep movie theatres in business.

The first 3/4 was great but it started to drag after that and the conclusion was somewhat anticlimactic. First one was better.

It seemed so slow and long and the ending rushed to a skidding halt. It could have been better.

Rushed at the end, but seems a perfect setup for #3. Typical solid middle chapter.

Fantastic. My only gripe is the “crazy Ivan” from the source material…specifically Chani and Paul’s god complex…then the drama with the marriage with Irulan. SMH. Plenty of drama in the coming books than to create unneeded drama.

Dune: Part Two by Denis Villeneuve is quite simply amazing cinema!

A visually outstanding film with absolutely no flaws. From the acting to the overall story this film was a true masterpiece and a must watch for any person who enjoys films of any sort.
